The wireless sensor networks are decentralized and self-arranging network. In these networks, the information is sensed by the sensor nodes. The sensor nodes send this information to the sink. The energy consumption is a main concern in these networks. A routing protocol called WEMER is modified and implemented for increasing the life span of WSN in this study. The complete network is divided into clusters in this protocol and cluster heads are chosen within every cluster. The deployment of gateway nodes is done within the network for modifying the WEMER protocol. This is done to increase the lifetime of WSN. In the proposed improvement gateway nodes are deployed near to base station which takes data from the leader nodes. The cluster head gets data from the leader node. In this study, MATLAB software is used to implement the modified WEMER protocol and existing WEMER protocol. The proposed protocol contains smaller amount of inactive nodes, higher amount of active nodes, delivers higher amount of packets and has more residual power as per the obtained simulation results.
