A Survey on Cluster Based Routing Protocol for Wireless Sensor Network

In the last few years, we have seen the extreme improvement in wireless communication technologies. Today wireless sensor technologies are comprehensively used overall the world to sustain the communication requirements of an enormous number of end users. Clustering provides an effective way for extending the lifetime of a sensor network, the utilization of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) has grown-up a lot in the present scenario, pointing out the fundamental need for scalable and energy efficient routing and data gathering in analogous comprehensive environments. Clustering protocols have broadly been used in the above directions. Moreover, they can significantly contribute to overall system scalability, lifetime, and energy efficiency. Due to the non-uniform node distribution, the energy consumption among nodes is more imbalanced in cluster-based wireless sensor networks. Based on this problem, in this paper, we discuss the cluster based routing protocol for wireless sensor networks with non-uniform node distribution is planned.
