Today Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are widely used and its utilization depends severely upon individual sensor nodes which have limited energy. So energy efficiency is the main issue in WSNs which is needed to be improved. Batteries in the sensor nodes are usually infeasible to be recharged or replaced. When whole of the energy of the sensor node is consumed, then it dies out, then the data of that region of respective sensor node gets lost. So the energy efficiency and data loss reduction in the WSN is one of the very important performance indicators. Thus, solving the efficient-energy coverage and data loss reduction problem is an important issue for a WSN network. So scheduling the activities of the devices in a WSN to save the network’s energy and loss of data in order to increase networks lifetime will be done. In this paper a new modified K-Coverage technique is proposed which enhances the network lifetime and prevents data loss. This technique computes the energy consumed during the Gaussian Elimination Algorithm so as to minimize the overall network energy consumption. It elects a cluster head as a node so as to minimize the total energy consumption of that cluster and set some threshold value above the zero level for all nodes so that when a node attains that threshold level the data of that node is shared by its neighboring nodes before that node dies. The performance of modified K-Coverage technique is carried out through simulation tests, which proves the effectiveness of this technique in terms of throughput, data delay, packet drop when compared against the other well known protocol ECHERP (Equalized Cluster Head Election Routing Protocol).
