The growth of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) technologies have spawned promising applications such as military surveillance and medical monitoring.However, due to the limited power resource, energy efficient networking has always remained a major challenge in making large scale WSN deployments viable.The difficulty in achieving energy efficient networking depends heavily on the amount of network traffic.In this dissertation, we present techniques centering the Medium Access Control (MAC) and routing layers to enhance energy efficiency across
