Wireless sensor networks have become one of the buzzwords in the field of networks. The challenging issue in wireless sensor networks is to design energy efficient routing in wireless sensor networks which is mainly focuses on increasing the network lifetime that emphasizes on main aspects namely residual energy, link condition, network lifetime. We introduced an appealing mechanism that supports for energy efficient routing titled as" Trio Measure Assessment Scheme for Efficient Routing in Wireless Sensor Networks". In TMAS algorithm prioritized transmission count (PTX) is used for calculating node status and link quality in addition to this we will balance the load for enhancing the network life time. The main intention to introduce the scheme of load balancing is that sensor nodes that are closer to sink carries more inter-cluster traffic and hence deplete their energy faster than far away sensor nodes, So, by assessing the node status and link quality and load balancing we will get maximum results for efficient routing which will increase the network life time. Our Simulation results on TMAS prove that it outperforms the network lifetime and efficiently maintains the link quality among the clusters. © 2005 - 2014 JATIT & LLS. All rights reserved.
