A new approach for energy and delay trade-off intra-clustering routing in WSNs

In this article, we present a routing protocol through intra-clustering. Most hierarchical protocols use direct intra-cluster routing, so that all the cluster member nodes forward their data to the cluster head node directly. Considered parameters are cluster lifetime and end to end delay between cluster member nodes and cluster head node. Also, rules related to queue theory have been used to determine end to end delay. At last, simulation results show the efficiency of the proposed protocol.
