Abstract
Developments in wireless communications and electronics have made designing low-cost sensor networks possible. The sensor networks have many application areas such as health, military, home, agriculture, environmental. Because each sensor has to be low-cost, they have very limited battery and lifetime of the network depends heavily on saving energy. One way of saving energy is designing appropriate routing protocols. In this thesis, we propose some new routing protocols that save more energy and increase the network lifetime comparing to the classical protocols especially in networks with a large number of sensors.
