Abstract: The Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) consists of enormous amount of sensor nodes. These nodes sense the physical parameters from the environment and forward the information to the destination (or) sink node. The sensor nodes have limited sensing, computation and communication capabilities. Those sensor nodes are mostly battery operated devices. This restriction makes the sensor nodes may prone to failure because of the more energy is wasted for data transmission to longer distance. This is a main challenging task in WSN to increase the network lifetime by increasing the number of alive nodes and to decrease the end to end delay and increase the average energy consumption. To aggregate the collected data before transmission is an intelligent technique in WSN. This technique will reduce the number of packets sent across the networks. The existing cluster chain mobile agent routing (CBRP) having high end to end delay and very high energy wasted for unnecessary transmission of data packets. To avoid this, the modified cluster chain based routing protocol are designed. It makes the advantage of very low energy consumption by using clustering hierarchy, improved network lifetime and very low end to end delay by using chain hierarchy. This protocol runs in two phases. This protocol is simulated and evaluated for the performance metrics has an energy consumed per node, end to end transmission delay, and network lifetime. Those results are demonstrated that the modified CCBRP outperforms than the existing routing protocols.
