Wireless Ad hoc Sensor Network (WASN) is becoming a demandable and evolving area of engineering which has been currently engaged in various fields particularly to make wireless communication system effective and reliable. WASN is resolving real time applications in the places where topographical, e cological terrains and atmospheric phenomenon are ever fluctuating. In this paper, a Hybrid Multi Hop Mobility assisted cluster routing protocol has been proposed for maximizing the system performance and throughput under heterogeneous real time mobile sensor network environment, by uniformly distributing energy among the sensor nodes. The behavior of node mobility here is being used to manage power consumption in cluster routing process. This can help researchers to project and design efficient energy aware wireless routing applications like tracking and data capturing in those areas where the network topology is ever changing. The proposed protocol can makes the communication network capable of routing packets to the base station in adverse and dynamic conditions with prolonged network operation.
