A Survey of Energy Consumption Routing Protocols in Wireless Sensor Networks

  Devendra Singh Kushwaha,  Dr. Vikash Kumar Singh

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) is networks which consist of large number of low cost sensing nodes disseminating in the geographical region. The energy of sensing nodes is restricted for sensing various kinds of network data and then transmitting the data to other nodes or the destination. WSN are accruing much more attention in handling complex situations and functions. Wireless sensor networks are used for large number of purposes in military surveillance, habitat monitoring, forest-fire detections, landslide detections etc. The processing of sensor nodes requires battery power to use the energy in order to increase the effective network lifetime in heterogeneous topology. This paper presents the various routing protocols focuses on both the static and mobile nodes for heterogeneous wireless sensor networks to reduce the energy consumption and hence focusing on stability period, network lifetime, increasing energy efficiency and number of alive nodes. The comparison study of various WSN protocols is also presented in this paper which mainly focuses on the energy consumption parameter in the wireless network.

Keywords- Clustering, Energy Consumption, Network Lifetime, Stability, Wireless Sensor Network.
