The Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have emerged as a new category of networking systems with limited computing, communication, and storage resources. In many sensing applications source nodes deliver packets to sink nodes via multiple hops, leading to the problem on how to find routes that enable all packets to be delivered in required time frames, while simultaneously taking into account factors such as energy efficiency and load balancing. The technique that is used in this paper is to make it simpler for wireless sensor networks problem .To make the energy more efficient a protocol is used that is called EDAL. To solve this problem one data collection protocol is developed called EDAL, which stands for Energy-efficient Delay-aware Lifetime-balancing data collection. Methods used are centralized heuristic and ant colony gossiping to find best energy efficient path. CAS (Cooperation-Aware Scheme) is used to reduce the traffic in the network. To make more prominent a centralized heuristic is design to make the computational overhead smaller and to detect the dead nodes. As it has some limitation distributed heuristic is design which is the best for large scale networks.
