Abstract

A wireless sensor network that consists of different nodes in hierarchy are considered. Some of these nodes have higher processing power and more energy. They are called manager nodes or super nodes. The second type of nodes has normal power and less energy and is called ‘normal’ node. In this paper, an energy-efficient method is presented. This method entrusts manager nodes with the responsibility of selecting relay nodes till the sensor nodes. This algorithm is effective in reducing energy consumption and increasing network lifetime. As none of the nodes save information related to routing table and relay nodes, therefore it will have less overload and complexity.
