IRJET- A Survey Paper on Various Energy Efficient Clustering Algorithms in Wireless Sensor Networking (original) (raw)

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is the next big thing the world has to adapt. It is composed of finite set of sensing devices, geographically distributed in a given indoor or outdoor environment which aims to gather the environmental data. Here sensed information is transmitted via wireless media. Consisting of cluster heads, base station and non-cluster heads. These sensors are battery driven and hence subjected to power loss and energy drainage. Therefore, energy saving' is the most important in task of WSN operations. The sensor nodes are un-rechargeable, so it leads to an issue regarding lifetime of the network. As per the Communication Technology, most of the energy is consumed by transmission of energy followed by processing and then sensing. In this paper we have presented various Clustering approaches and Routing protocols that can optimize the wireless sensor network (WSN).
