The life cycle comparison of ADCAPTEEN in different scales. This figure shows the network life cycle of ADCAPTEEN compared 100 nodes with the 50-node network topology. We can see that established ADCAPTEEN network topology is also effective. Compared with Fig. 9, ADCAPTEEN protocol results in a greater network life cycle than the APTEEN protocol under two network topologies. ADCAPTEEN outperforms APTEEN in terms of scalability. It is suitable for large-scale network
