Abstract

This paper proposes a centralized tree structure based routing protocol. It is based on a greedy heuristic to maximize wireless sensor network lifetime. The proposed heuristic results in greater lifetime has been compared with naive heuristic used earlier in literature. The proposed design uses residual energy for the construction of tree which makes high energy sensor nodes nearer to base station. Rigorously the algorithmis tested using simulation and found that the lifetime is improved significantly compared to the available well known greedy solutions respectively.
