Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have a wide range of applications in human life. Accordingly, WSNs have beenthoroughly considered in research community to improve their performance and address their challenges. Eventreporting in WSNs has always been a major challenge in terms of energy consumption. Event reporting requiressensing the event and sending a reporting packet from the sensor to the centralized base station (BS). However,sensor’s energy is limited and stored in a non-rechargeable battery. Therefore, several event-reporting (or datacollection) protocols have been proposed to improve energy consumption in WSNs, and consequently, to extendtheir lifetime. In this paper, we propose an efficient event reporting protocol for WSNs called Event ReportingProtocol Based on Distributed Data Aggregation (ERP-DDA). This protocol mainly aims at reporting any event byno more than one sensor node such that energy saving is satisfied in the whole network. To achieve this goal, ERPDDAis mainly based on the following features: it is a cluster-based protocol, it is a multi-hop routing protocol, itapplies distributed data aggregation, and it employs variable clustering and cluster head selection. Simulationsshow that ERP-DDA significantly extends the lifetime of WSNs compared with other related protocols.
