Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is an emerging technology, which enables new innovative trends and equipments to resolve the issues of current and future world. The WSN is a combination of tiny sensor nodes equipped with a minimal battery power, mini processor and a RAM. The battery is non-rechargeable in nature and thus the need for energy efficiency becomes a vital task for WSN. This paper deals with improving the energy efficiency through Energy Proficient AODV protocol (EP-AODV). The proposed work utilizes minimal energy, power amplification and efficient routing technique to improve lifetime of the network. Comparison of EP-AODV with other existing schemes, EP-AODV achieves better throughput, energy efficient, First-Nod-Dies ratio and so on. Thus, the proposed EP-AODV protocol achieves better energy efficient protocol for WSN.
