Abstract

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) refers to a class of spatially distributed and dedicated sensors for monitoring and recording the physical conditions of the surroundings and organizing the collected information at a central location. In several WSN applications, the device nodes are battery driven and need to recharge frequently. The energy consumption in WSNA depends on device nodes, design and Communication Protocols used. Energy efficient routing is one of the foremost effective to save energy in WSNs. Energy potency first and foremost issue coming up with a routing protocol. AN energy economical routing protocol is required to confirm network performance by prolonging network lifespan. Variety of efficient energy routing protocols were implemented. This paper deals with various methods utilized for efficient energy consumption in WSN.
