Wireless sensor networks are the most widely used technologies with a wide range of applications and data collection processes. WSN is the major component for real-time data collection at various places where human intervention is difficult. With so many features, advantages, and impact WSN have some major challenges and hurdles, and these challenges the performance of the WSN is reducing and affecting the application part. This paper discusses the impact of WSN, and why WSN is gaining so much impact in recent days from a business perspective. A detailed survey and analysis made on the major challenges of WSN are carried out to identify the major performance factor of WSN. This paper aims to solve the major performance factor of WSN - power optimization, using novel cluster-based multipath routing. The proposed routing ensures the energy efficiency of the WSN for the data transfer process. Finally, the proposed method will be compared over some standard algorithms to analyze the performance in terms of the lifetime of the network and packet transmission by the sensor.
