There are many questions when designing and developing wireless sensor networks (WSNs). One of the key questions is how to make full use of the limited energy to increase the lifetime of the network, because energy is an extremely crucial resource for battery-powered WSNs, thus preparing energy-efficient protocol design a key challenging problem. In this paper, we proposed a new algorithm based on approach for energy-aware routing in wireless sensor networks, we can reduce energy consumption and increase the network lifetime in wireless sensor networks. This algorithm has used from fuzzy neural network for clustering and section of cluster head nodes among other nodes. The simulation results display that the proposed algorithm can be used in wide area of applications in WSNs.
