The quick growth in the network multimedia equipment have allowed real-time digital services such as video conferencing, online games and distance education to grow on the conventional internet tasks. The Wireless Senor Network (WSN) has become a major area of research in the computational theory due to its wide range of applications. WSN is an emerging technology which is made up of thousands of low cost and low battery powered sensor nodes which are highly distributed with sensing, processing and communication characteristics. The sensor nodes have a limited battery power, and the battery replacement is not easy for WSN with thousands of nodes which makes the lifetime of WSN crucial. Protocols such as LEACH, HEED, PEGASIS, TBC and PEDAP are proposed in order to overcome the problems faced by the WSN networks. The GSTEB protocol improves the lifetime by 100% as compared with HEED. In this research work, a novel tree based routing protocol is proposed which constructs a routing tree using a process for each round, Base Station BS selects a root node and informs this selection to remaining sensor nodes in its vicinity. Subsequently, each node selects its parents by considering information of itself and its neighbour's information, thus making a dynamic protocol. The results of the research focuses on the Quality of Service parameters providing 0.115 Dead Node Ratio for 70 nodes, Routing Load 34 x 10^3 bits, 520J Total Energy Consumption WSN and Network Lifetime achieved is 1.6250 x 10^3seconds.
