Abstract
WSN’s present a new challenge in current research works due to their unlimited potential. Sensor nodes operate with limited battery power, which is seldom replaced or recharged. So, energy utilization is an important constraint in designing routing protocols in WSN. In this paper, we proposed an event based hierarchical cluster based routing algorithm with the objective of reducing the energy consumption for creating the routing topology and thus maximize the lifetime of Wireless Sensor Networks. The performance of the proposed protocol has been examined and evaluated through a simulation study. The simulation results clearly show that it has a better performance than EECDS.
