Abstract: Energy efficiency in one of the most considered challenges in wireless sensor networks[1], [2].Cross layer technique is a commonly used solution for improving network performance[3], such as lifetime optimization[4]. Based on low energy adaptive clustering hierarchy protocol[5],[6], this paper puts forward a cross layer algorithm named LEVEL-CROSSED for energy saving in a clustred wireless sensors network. For cluster-head selection LEVEL-CROSSED algorithm takes into account both the SNR of different links and the outstanding energy of sensor nodes. Simulation results in terms of the average energy consumption, the network lifetime and the Packet Delivery Ratio show evidently the outperformance of LEVEL-CROSSED algorithm against the basic LEACH.
