The hierarchical clustering is an efficient way to reduce the overall energy consumption within the cluster by performing aggregation and fusion of data. Clusters create hierarchical WSNs, which facilitate efficient utilization of the limited resources of sensor nodes, thereby extend the network lifetime, reduce energy consumption of the system and provide overall system scalability. The proposed work of the present paper is to provide an overview of hierarchical protocols and an overview of the protocol's performance. The study of different clustering routing protocols of WSN and Ad-Hoc are presented and the aim is to give the comparison of different hierarchical routing protocols between WSNs and Ad-Hoc on various parameters.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
