In the network, the end-to-end route discovery mechanism was based on the primary principle of the minimum communication costs. An algorithm was proposed for inter-clustering communication optimization by adaptively selecting the most energy-efficient communication mode among direct, relaying and cooperative communica- tions. The proposed routing algorithm guarantees that the source node can discover the minimum or sub-minimum energy consumption route to the base station. It also decreases the probability that the communications are interrupted due to the coverage holes. Compared with the other routing algorithms, the simulation results show that the proposed routing algo- rithm makes WSN consume
