There are many facets of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), which provoke research interest. One of the major being routing protocol, i.e. the task of transmitting data from source node to sink node. SPIN (Sensor Protocols for Information via Negotiation) being one of them, which efficiently disseminates information among sensor node in an energy-constrained wireless sensor network. Although in time constrained operation like war zone it is not suited because it take much more time to deliver information among sensor node, also it consume more energy to broadcast data among sensor node that results energy drain faster and node dead quickly. Hence we proposed a modified version of SPIN routing protocol with network being formed using clustering technique, called Cluster Based SPIN (CB-SPIN) routing protocol. For simulation of both protocols SPIN and CB-SPIN, MATLAB platform is used and result show that CB-SPIN gives better performance in terms of time and energy.
