Wireless Sensor Network is the collection of tiny sensor nodes which are commonly used to collect information and data from different target areas. WSN is very useful to be used in the area where traditional wired or wireless network is difficult to be deployed. Current era, WSN is more useful in real-time applications. There are some resource consumption challenging issues like bandwidth consumption, energy consumption and installation cost. In WSN, sensor nodes have low power capabilities with small batteries, so it require energy efficient routing algorithms which can reduce the energy consumption, increase the network lifetime, throughput. Wireless Sensor Networks consist of small, low-power, low-energy nodes used for monitoring environmental parameters such as temperature, humidity and motion. Each energy efficient approach available in lifetime has its own advantages over the other energy efficient approaches. This paper gives an overview of the different routing strategies used in wireless sensor networks and gives a brief working model of energy efficient routing protocols in WSN. We have also compared these different routing protocols based on metrics such as mobility support, stability, overlapping. The study concludes with the recommendations to the future direction in the energy efficiency model for the sensor networks.
