Abstract
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are used for various monitoring tasks. Their utilizations in remote areas, where battery replacement is not feasible, require extending the network lifetime. A modified version of the popular Collection Tree Protocol (CTP) is presented - the Lifetime Improved CTP (LICTP). It is shown that the LICTP´s achieved lifetime for the evaluated scenario increases by a factor of 2.55 and for actual real world cases can get, for the defined scenario, up to 7 years.
