Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) consist of thousands of tiny sensor nodes having the limited capability of sensing, computation, and wireless communication. WSNs send information to a central location called base station over wireless interface where data is analyzed and presented to useful applications. Energy efficiency is one of the most important design constraints in WSNs architecture. The lifetime of each sensor nodes depends on its energy dissipation. The core objective of proposed algorithm is to develop an energy-efficient network layer routing protocol to improve network lifetime. a routing technique in which the task of cluster formation is performed by base station itself on the basis of residual energy and the neighbor list of each individual node. The base station has information about the logical structure of the network i.e. the nodes location and their neighbors as well. In the case, when base station doesn't receive data from particular node in the network then it will treat it as a malicious node.
