        abstract = {This study introduces a cluster-based virtual multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication approach tailored for energy-limited wireless sensor networks. The research explores virtual MIMO under both fixed and variable data rates. An energy-efficient routing method utilizing space-time block coding (STBC) is integrated with the low-energy adaptive clustering hierarchy (LEACH) protocol. Additionally, an analytical model is developed to evaluate the energy consumption across the entire network. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed virtual MIMO-based routing significantly enhances energy efficiency.},
