In this paper, an energy efficient and QoS routing protocol; named Fuzzy based Energy-efficient and QoS Routing protocol (FEQRP) for wireless sensor networks; is proposed to extend the life time of the network.Most of the existing protocols don't take care about energy balancing.The energy manager protocols balance the energy consumption in the network to avoid network partitioning.The proposed protocol tries to find the best route with smallest distance between source and destination, reduce the energy consumption and balance it by fuzzy set approach.In FEQRP, both the node position and the energy level are used to route the packets from sources to destination.Each node knows the location and energy level of its neighbors.
