A Review: Growth of Energy Efficient Protocols in WSN

Abstract

As we know the performance and lifetime of a wireless sensor network depends upon the energy factor that is consumed by the sensors to perform assigned operations. There are various methods or protocols are available in the market, which makes a network capable to perform large operations by consuming a minimal amount of energy. Such protocols are known as energy efficient protocols (EEP). This study represents the generalized concept of wireless sensor network along with various clustering and various energy efficient protocols that are widely used for proper utilization of energy in the network by its sensor nodes. This study also highlights the work of previous years that had been conducted to enhance the efficiency of energy efficient protocols. The review of the work is organized in the conclusion section.
