Abstract: Energy is one of the important major constraints in all kinds of networks. Sensor nodes meets very less energy, it causes node death, where it creates various problems in data transmission. In this paper it is aimed to improve the energy efficiency by reducing the energy consumption. To do this, a linear path is constructed between end-points, nodes mode is changed into Sleep and Awake, Awake and Sleep and scheduling is applied. These three functionalities provide a very good data transmission with less energy consumption. Simulation of this proposed approach is carried out in NS2 software and the performance is verified in terms of Energy, throughput and delay.
