On the purpose of high-quality sensing and error-free operation, solidarity and cooperation between sensor nodes are quite significant. Therefore, routing in WSN has become more of an issue. In this paper, a cluster based routing algorithm is designed for WSN. The proposed algorithm is compared with LEACH, which is often used in literature, by simulation method using OMNeT++. The results show that the number of packets that have arrived to the base station has increased by 31,1%, while the number of living nodes has increased by 20%. Even though, the increase in the total amount of energy dissipation is up to 22,5%, when the average energy for each packet that arrives to the base station is taken into consideration, a decrease up to 15,1% is obtained.trinfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccesswireless sensor networksroutingclusteringLEACHConference Object2402432-s2.0-84939135538N/AWOS:000380500900039N/A
