Abstract: Wireless sensor network (WSN) plays a major role in collecting information from different locations using battery powered sensor nodes in order to forward it to the sink node. The main limitation of the sensor nodes or motes is the limited energy resource. Hence, the efficient routing algorithm is one of the key challenges that need to be addressed for extending the lifetime of the network. In this paper, an efficient cluster-based routing protocol called efficient energy consumption protocol (EECP) is proposed which involves fixed clusters and randomised weighted algorithm for cluster head selection to reduce the energy consumption. Game theory is used to select healthier cluster-heads with sufficient residual energy. EECP uses the game theory concept during multi-hop transfer of data to sink node without any loss of data during the hopping process. The simulation results show that EECP with game performs better than energy aware routing protocol (EARP) and a novel clustering algorithm for energy efficiency (ANCAEE) on the basis of network lifetime.
