Abstract
Purpose – This research can contribute to design and develop wireless sensor network (WSN)
routing algorithm based on the comparison data. The paper aims to discuss these issues.
Design/methodology/approach – This research is a tree-based routing algorithm in order to
reduce routing cost on WSNs.
Findings – The approach is more efficient than other cluster-based approach.
Originality/value – Originality is high because there is no other paper about cost effect and energy
saving both considering at the same time.

1. Introduction
Wireless sensor network (WSN) consists of a large number of sensor nodes that can
collect and disseminate data in areas where ordinary networks are unsuitable for
environmental and strategic reasons. Each sensor node comprises sensing, processing,
transmission, mobilize, position finding system global positioning system (GPS), and
power units. The overall system architecture of WSN is shown in Figure 1. All nodes
have the capability to sense event. They are able to send collected event data from the
environment perform some computation and communicate with the other nodes in
the network. Once a sensor node is deployed, the network can keep operating only until
the battery power is sufficient. WSN has a wide range of applications such as
environmental monitoring, biomedical research, human imaging and tracking, and
military applications (Shee et al., 2005).WSNs are mainly used in the emergency services.
It can also be called emergency services networks (ESNs). Microelectro-mechanical
systems technology, wireless communications, and digital electronics have enabled the
development of low-cost, low-power, multifunctional sensor nodes that are small in size
and communicate undeterred in short distances. A wide range of applications utilizing
low-end sensor nodes to collaborative work together is envisioned for sensor networks.
Some of the application areas are health, military, and security.
A WSN consists of spatially distributed autonomous sensors to monitor physical or
environmental conditions, such as temperature, sound, pressure, etc. and to cooperatively
pass their data through the network to a main location. The more modern networks are
bi-directional, also enabling control of sensor activity. The development of WSNs was
motivated by military applications such as battlefield surveillance; today such networks are
