Energy minimization is one of the paramount issues in designing of the wireless sensor network and becomes more complex for multi-hop transmission. Furthermore, selection of multi hop route for the packets transmission is also a tedious task. In this paper, we propose an intra-cluster and inter-cluster (ICIC) energy minimization strategy for multihop wireless sensor network (WSN). In the proposed strategy, in intra cluster communication, a dynamic duty cycle allocation based on the cluster head (CH) node distance from the child nodes for the energy minimization is presented. In the inter cluster communication, minimum energy consumption route is chosen for the transmission of packets to base station (BS). The proposed strategy is compared with four state of the art techniques, i.e., HEEMP, LEACH, MLEACH, and SEP protocols of clustering. The evaluation of the proposed and existing strategies is done in two different scenarios i.e., number of round and number of nodes. Results of the simulation show that the proposed strategy transmits more packets and has lower number of dead nodes than other strategies. Furthermore, proposed strategy utilizes more network energy and more relaying energy.
