Comprehensive Analysis of Energy Aware Clustering and Routing Protocols Used In WSN

The evaluation and up gradation of wireless sensor Network (WSN) requires transfer of data from source to destination. Nodes within wireless network are sensors having limited energy associated with them. Nodes collaborating together form clusters. Data transmission takes place from distinct clusters towards base station. Energy of sensors needs to be preserved in order to enhance lifetime of network. This paper presents various techniques used to enhance lifetime of network. Lifetime of network ensures degradation in terms of packet drop ratio. Comparative analysis of techniques is also presented to determine approach that can be used for future enhancements.
