The Base station placement plays a major role in the wireless sensor network to minimize the energy consumption. A new optimal method (orthocenter based approach) has been proposed for the two tired architecture of sensor nodes which may face a problem of path loss. The path loss varies from the node based on their distance to the base station. In this paper the optimal location for the base station is selected so as to minimize the path loss and increase in the energy utilization. The result shows that new method gives a better solution than the previous method (Centroid based approach).
