Abstract | The sensor devices are battery powered thus energy is the most precious resource of a wireless sensor
network since periodically replacing the battery of the nodes in large scale deployments is infeasible. The
collected data is disseminated to a static control point data sink in the network, using node to node
multi-hop data propagation, [4, 6]. However, sensor devices consume signicant amounts of energy in
addition to increased implementation complexity since a routing protocol is executed. Also, a point of
failure emerges in the area near the control center where nodes relay the data from nodes that are farther
