A Comparative Analysis of Hierarchical Routing Protocols in Wireless Sensor Networks

Clustering is a key technique to improve the network lifetime, decrease the energy consumption and increase the scalability of the sensor network. In this paper, the different clustering algorithms for heterogeneous Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are examined to study its performance with the impact of heterogeneity of the nodes. The main objective of this paper is to compare the different hierarchical routing protocol and propose an optimized algorithm for the clustering in order to prolong network lifetime. Prolonging network lifetime is the way to provide energy efficient WSNs.
