  Abstract

Since sensor node has a limited energy supply in a wireless sensor network, it is very important to maximize the network lifetime through energy-efficient routing. Thus, many routing protocols have been developed for wireless sensor networks and can be classified into flat and hierarchical routing protocols. Recent researches focus on hierarchical routing scheme and LEACH is a representative hierarchical routing protocol. In this paper, we investigated the problems of the LEACH and proposed a novel energy efficient routing scheme, called ENTER(ENergy efficient Two-tiEr Routing protocol), to resolve the problem. ENTER reduces an energy consumption and increases a network lifetime by organizing clusters by the same distributed algorithm as in the LEACH and establishing paths among cluster-heads to transmit the aggregated data to the sink node. We compared the performance of the ENTER with the LEACH through simulation and showed that the ENTER could enhance the network lifetime by utilizing the resources more efficiently.
