Network lifetime is an important problem in sensor networks. The clustered method can enhance the efficient utilization of the limited energy resources of the deployed sensor nodes. In this paper, we describe the network lifetime as a function of the communication and data aggregation (DA) energy consumption and analyze the lifetimes of different transmission schemes in the homogeneous sensor networks. The analysis carried out in this paper would provide the guidelines for network deployment and protocol design in the future applications.
