The wireless sensor networks (WSNs) field is one of the emerging and fast-growing fields in the scientific world. This has brought about the development of low-cost, and multifunctional sensor nodes for easy and secure dissemination of information. Nonetheless, the problem of sensor nodes running out of energy quickly has been an issue. Many energyefficient routing algorithms have been proposed to solve this problem and preserve the longevity of the network. Most of the recent papers have shown so many protocols mainly designed to minimize energy consumption in the network but there are some limitations with regards to the area of operation and the optimization decisions. This paper proposes an Energy Efficiency Hierarchical Routing Technique (EEHRT) which is based on LEACH protocol to extend the lifespan of a WSN. In this work, the proposed Energy Efficient Hierarchical Routing Technique selects cluster heads based on the prediction of transmission energy through the shortest distance to the base station. Our approach rotates the role of Cluster Heads (CHs), and optimizes the CH selection by the prediction of energy transmission in every round and aggregating data before transmission to the BS. The important features which include member nodes formation and rotation, cluster head selection and rotation, and cluster optimization of our proposed hierarchical routing technique in transmitting data to the base station are analyzed and emphasized.
