Through analyzing the energy dissipation of single-hop and multi-hop path within as well as between clusters in the hierarchical routing protocol

a hybrid routing method was proposed. Nodes compete for cluster head autonomously according to residual energy

the distances with neighbor nodes and total time of being the elected head. Meanwhile

in order to reduce energy cost of telecommunication

nodes are all followed the selection rules of single-hop and multi-hop routing during data transmission step whether in the internal clusters or between them. By the compared experiment with LEACH and DEEG

the results show that this new routing method not only balanced the cluster load

but also increased the times of data collection and improved the utilization of sensor nodes effectively.
