Abstract
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are resource-constrained networks that have been applied in
several military and civilian applications. Many protocols have been proposed for the simple, low power, low
cost WSNs. In this paper we propose a new routing protocol based on Tree Routing (TR). The proposed
protocol exploits neighbors’ links in addition to parent-child links to transmit messages while considering the
residual energy at each node. Nodes should maintain neighbors' information in their neighbors table. The goal
is to try to route the data over the shortest path and at the same time to prolong the network’s lifetime by
considering network power consumption and avoiding excessive messages between nodes. The proposed
protocol is analyzed and compared with other tree-based routing protocols such as plus tree protocol
