WSN is stocked with many small nodes that are highly depends on energy .These nodes offers solutions to many real time problems that are in existence .The capability of these nodes are very limited, mainly for maintaining energy efficiency in WSN .There are various techniques available to effectively maintain the energy in the wireless sensor networks .Among these techniques the most widely used techniques are clustering and data gathering .To accomplish broadcasting and routing in WSN Minimum Connected Dominating Set (MCDS) can be established .Maximal Independent Set (MIS) plays a vital role in the formation of MCDS .This paper provides an algorithm for efficiently managing energy in WSN in the case of routing and single broadcasting.
