摘要:The sensor nodes in a Wireless Sensor Network are generally constrained with limited power supply. Efficient power management is a must for any sensor network to keep the sensor nodes in the network to be operational for a longer period of time this increasing the lifetime of the sensor network. Hierarchy based routing enables the sensor networks to be deployed in larger areas. In this paper we present a hierarchical cluster based routing protocol which improves the scalability as the data travels from one cluster level to another covering a greater amount of distance and increases the lifetime of the wireless sensor network by distributing the power dissipation load evenly among all the sensor nodes within the network. Also the time delay in case of critical data to be received by the Base Station has also been lowered.
