A Review on Clustering Protocols with Energy heterogeneity in Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract

In the field of wireless sensor networks (WSNs), several researchers have motivated in the past couple of years because of their potential applications and related challenges, which contain numerous sensor nodes deployed randomly within the field of significance having power constrained. These sensors report data which is sensed from the deployed field to the sink that necessitie high energy usage. The efficient usage of the network energy may be gone by arranging the sensors into sets, called clusters. Cluster Head (CH) and several members of sensor nodes are present in each Cluster but it is more appropriate and economical only when sensor nodes with different energy levels are used. In this paper, we discriminate DEEC, DDEEC, EDEEC, TDEEC, BEENISH, Level-5 and Level-6 protocols on the basis of stability period, network lifetime and throughput of nodes alive during in various level heterogeneous networks.
