Wireless Sensor Network is a collection of micro sensors which are gathering data in various situations from monitoring environment and transmitting it to base station. The most important challenging issue in wireless sensor network is energy conservation. The communication process must be designed such a way that it can conserve the limited energy resources of the sensors. In this paper we are proposing an energy efficient routing in wireless sensor network with the help of information high way which is designed by the proposed modified cyclic cellular automata scheme. The energy efficient routing via information high way in sensor network (EERIH) is more energy saving compared to other existing techniques. In our proposed model, nodes send their data to base station with minimum energy loss by the information high way. The EERIH is also tolerating faults of cluster head and traffic nodes failure.
