A COMPREHENSIVE STUDY OF DIFFERENT ENERGY-EFFICIENT ROUTING PROTOCOLS IN WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS

摘要

The network of Sensor Nodes communicating in a wireless manner is referred to as Wireless Sensor Network, With the advent of time deployment of WSNs for real life application is greater than before, but still, the energy constraint remains one of the key issues and prevents the complete utilization of WSN technology. One of the solution is to have Clustering routing protocols as they reduces the transmission distance which results in less energy consumption and thereby increasing the life of the WSN. This paper presents review on some of the different Clustering routing protocols being used in WSN. Along with that some of the applications of WSNs are also listed.
