Abstract
The sensor nodes in wireless sensor network (WSN) come with limited battery life, thus energy usage in WSN is to be handled with great care. The routing protocols are the major research area to work on the QoS of the network such as network lifetime, scalability, energy consumption, packet overhead, etc. Since sensor node posses limited battery life, to use nodes efficiently yet not loosing connectivity in the network becomes a major issue in designing the routing protocols. To achieve energy efficiency and better network lifetime, grouping of sensor nodes into small clusters and selecting one cluster head seems to have more advantages in comparison with other network models to get better scalability, robustness and end-to-end data delivery. In this paper, we have discussed and studied the different energy-efficient routing protocols for clustering of sensor nodes in wireless sensor network, its merits, demerits and applications.
