Clustering the nodes in wireless sensor network (WSN) has been one of the recognized approaches when it comes to improving the lifetime of the network. Low Energy Adaptive Clustering hierarchical protocol (LEACH) is the origin for the clustering protocols for WSNs that allows the nodes to forward the data to their respective cluster heads which relays it to base station. This paper proposes a modification to existing Two-tier Era-based Clustering Energy-efficient Adaptive and Proactive Routing Protocol (TECEAP) in the context of choosing the relay nodes from each cluster to balance the load over the parent cluster head. The proposed and existing protocols were compared based on network lifetime, throughput and number of nodes alive. These parameters have shown an improvement over the existing scheme.
