Abstract: The wireless sensor networks have been experiencing exponential growth in the past decade. A Wireless Sensor Network provides low cost solutions and consists of several sensors distributed across a geographical area. In many commercial and industrial applications, it often needs to monitor and collect the information about the environment conditions (temperature, humidity, vibration, acceleration etc.) by using sensor networks. This paper aims to resolve issues relating to excessive multi-hoping from one node to another. Proposed addressing can be used for signal spreading and de-spreading and minimize power usage. The proposed protocol is compared with the two existing protocols namely Tree Routing and Enhanced Tree Routing. The simulation results show that the proposed protocol has the low hop-count compare to TR and ETR, also it consumes less power and energy in finding paths and transmitting data to the sink node compare to TR and ETR protocols.
