Energy consumption plays a crucial role in Wireless Sensor Networks as these networks are designed to be placed in hostile and non-accessible areas. While battery-driven sensors will run out of battery sooner or later, the use of renewable energy sources such as solar power extends the lifetime of a sensor network. We propose a solar-aware, scheduled clustered routing protocol A-sLEACH which is an extension to sLEACH for routing and MTE for radio model. Simulation results of applying such scheme shows better performance compared to MTE and sLEACH.
