Abstract

Routing is one of the critical and ongoing challenges in Wireless Sensor Networks. The main challenge has always been to have a routing protocol that reduces the communication overhead, hence saving the energy of the sensors in the network. Hierarchical routing protocols are known to be the most energy-efficient routing protocols for Wireless Sensor Networks. In this paper, a more generalized hierarchical routing protocol is introduced for Wireless Sensor Network, which is based on tree data structures. The clustering in the proposed protocol has the format of a general tree, which is constructed in an adaptive manner based on the distance of the sensors. Results show that the proposed tree-based protocol introduces a significant benefit in energy consumption and lifetime of the network over the existing hierarchical approaches.
