Abstract

Wireless sensing network is con- sisting of sensors and sink that is self- organized and infrastructureless network. En- ergy plays a very important role for the life- time, coverage and connectivity of network. In this paper, proposed protocol has two level heterogeneous wireless sensor network inwhich Residual Energy and distance of node from base station in which every sensing ele- ment node is taking into account to maximize the life time of network. Simulation results show that the proposed protocol improves the performance of network.
