Currently, wireless sensor network (WSN) protocols are mainly used to achieve low power consumption of the network, but there are few studies on the quality of services (QoS) of these networks. Coverage can be used as a measure of the WSN's QoS, which can further reflect the quality of data information. Additionally, the coverage requirements of regional monitoring target points are different in real applications. On this basis, this paper proposes an energy-efficient clustering routing protocol based on a high-QoS node deployment with an inter-cluster routing mechanism (EECRP-HQSND-ICRM) in WSNs. First, this paper proposes formula definitions for information integrity, validity, and redundancy from the coverage rate and introduces a node deployment strategy based on twofold coverage. Then, in order to satisfy the uniformity of the distribution of cluster heads (CHs), the monitoring area is divided into four small areas centered on the base station (BS), and the CHs are selected in the respective cells. Finally, combined with the practical application of the WSN, this paper optimizes the Dijkstra algorithm, including: (1) nonessential paths neglecting considerations, and (2) a simultaneous introduction of end-to-end weights and path weights, achieving the selection of optimal information transmission paths between the CHs. The simulation results show that, compared with the general node deployment strategies, the deployment strategy of the proposed protocol has higher information integrity and validity, as well as lower redundancy. Meanwhile, compared with some classic protocols, this protocol can greatly reduce and balance network energy consumption and extend the network lifetime.
