Abstract
This paper proposes a new top-down hierarchical, multi-hop, routing protocol for the wireless sensor networks. The proposed solution is appropriate for random deployment and suitable for different sizes of target areas. This protocol forms clusters in which each cluster member is at one hop distance from the cluster head. This protocol ensures the participation of all the cluster heads in hierarchical topology formation. The proposed protocol is also capable of handling dynamic nature of the wireless sensor networks. The simulation results show the scalability of the proposed approach.
