Comparison of Clustering routing Protocol in Sensor Networks: A Study

Abstract

Sensor network becomes most emerging technology in these days and it plays a important role in every field. WSN also becomes important topic in nowadays because this technology is used in very sensitive areas like Education, Military Services, Medical field, Surveillance, Agriculture monitoring, Industrial Monitoring, etc. Sensor networks is interconnected distributed network consist of relatively simple, low-cost, low-power sensor nodes. Energy conservation is biggest challenge in wireless sensor network because after deployment of these tiny sensor nodes it is not possible to recharge them. There is lots of energy saving schemes that are used to decrease the power consumed and to increase the life of network life. Clustering is most prevalent technology which is able to make sensor networks energy-efficient. The scheme aims to minimize the communication distance of sensors. In this article, a survey on different energy based Clustering routing protocols has been done.
