Data collection issues play a significant role in the area of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) and Internet of Things (IOT). Energy efficiency is affected by the number of data transmissions from the node to the Sink / base station (BS). Control of the update data is one of the feasible ways to reduce the messages sent by the nodes. In transmitting data strategies most of the WSN real-time data applications update the data directly, and some current study made a logical or absolute check to measure the change between the current and last sensor measuring value before updating the data. In this paper, we proposed a method to reduce the number of data transmissions as well as decrease the amount of data that will result in prolonging the lifetime of the network. The proposed method aims to reduce the number of transmitted messages via a node supporting single and multiple sensors based on the relative change or relative differences between the current and last sensor measured values transmitted. The results show the proposed method appears to deliver the best performance in terms of reducing the number of messages transitions and packets size, in this study the mean percentage of reducing the number of messages transmissions is 74%, and 80% is the mean percentage reduce of node packet size. From the results, it's clear that reduce the number of packet's transitions and reduce the node packet size, will result in a decrease the energy consumption as well as prolonging the lifetime of the system.
