In this paper we employ farcoopt, a cross layer design approach with the concept of cooper- ation among the nodes with best farthest neighbor scheme to increase the Quality of Service (QoS), reduce energy consumption, increases performance and end-to-end throughput. We present cooperative transmission to connect previously disconnect parts of a network thus overcoming the separation problem of multi-hop network. We show that this approach improves connectivity over 50% compared to multi-hop approaches and reduces the number of nodes necessary to provide full coverage of an area up to 35%. Simulation results show that on increase of data rates i.e. packet the network life time increases in farcoopt as compared to tra- ditional multi hop approach. The result of this analysis is presented in this work. Keywords: Cooperative Network, Cross Layer Design, Wireless Sensor Networks, Energy Saving, Communication Protocol, Routing 1.
