The protocol is used for solving energy- hole problem in multi- hop wireless sensor network. In clustering parameters we have location of base station and residual energy. Based on these parameters, different competition radii are solve to node. In this protocol, by electing cluster heads considering number of nodes in the neighborhood in addition to the above two parameters. We are comparing two protocols. The inclusion of the neighborhood information for computation of the competition radius provides better balancing of energy in comparison with the existing approach. Therefore, the selection of next node, the relay metric is defined directly in terms of energy expense instead of only the distance information Used in the protocol and the data transmission phase has been extended in every round by performing the data collection number of times through use of major slots and mini-slots. The methodology used is same clusters for an every rounds and is effective in reducing the energy consumption. The performance of the proposed protocol has been calculated three different scenarios and compared with protocols through simulations. The results show that the proposed protocols in terms of network lifetime in every scenarios.

INTRODUCTION A wireless sensor network consist of many small, light weighted, low cost wireless nodes. These nodes are randomly distributed at a remote location to sense physical data such as: Temperature, Humidity, Vibration, Pressure and Noise etc. Lot of research work has been carried out in the last decade to address this challenge [1-3].WSNs are deployed for data gathering applications involving a large amount of area such as agriculture, forests , coal mines, monitoring of rail tunnels, etc. The base station is placed far away from the sensing filed in most of the cases. Data are gathered periodically by the base station. Clustering is the most of the technic to monitoring the networks [7-11]. Network offers greater lifespan the network with direct data transmission. It improve the lifespan gets improved by the factor of about 2 or 3 times with clustering [12]. There are many uses of clustering protocols in data aggregation networks. In bored network, usually there is large volume of traffic among the sensors, which leads to certain of interference and subsequently results into collisions. Clustering the sensors would minimize the number of long distance transmission and there result into saving of the energy. When the normal sensor node sleep times are drawn out, while cluster head coordinates the activities of its members nodes again resulting into energy saving [13]. This activity is executed TDMA based protocol [5, 11, 14, and 15]. Data aggregation at cluster head by the lower number of transmitted data packets, which helps reduction of the energy consumption of sensor nodes. The clustering protocol has two steps, first is intra cluster that means within the clusters, and second is inter cluster, that means cluster to base station. Clustering depends on single hop transmission or multi- hop transmission [16, 17]. First clustering protocols use single hop communication for communicating inside the cluster, as the distance between sensors within the cluster. E.g. LEACH [11], LEACH-DT [15], HEED [18], etc. But our report based on Multi-hop communication between sensor nodes and cluster head. Sensor node and the cluster head is more energy efficient than single hop communication, when the propagation loss exponent is high. Multi-hop examples are LEACH [22], EADC [23], EDUC [24], etc. Recently, much research has been carried out to address energy imbalance and mitigates energy hole problem for clustered WSNs. Number of strategies such as using node mobility[25,26], mobile sink, hierarchical deployment, non-uniform clustering, data compression and traffic aggregation etc. have been prosed for solving energy hole problem.
