DEVELOPMENT OF CLUSTER ROUTING PROTOCOL FOR POWER CONSUMPTION IN WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS : A SURVEY

ABSTRACT Wireless sensor Networks(WSN) deploy a large number of sensor nodes in the monitoring region, collecting the information which is sent to the target users by wireless sensor networks.( using simple treatment) The Wireless sensor networks nodes are usually deployed in inaccessible or high risk area and are in large numbers, replacing batteries becomes very difficult. The nodes are generally one time battier powered so there is series problem of energy constraint to the sensor networks. The primary design of Cluster routing protocol is to efficiently use the energy of sensor nodes and prolong the survival time of the network.
