Abstract
New advancements in the technology of wireless
sensors have contributed to the development of special protocols
which are unique to sensor networks where minimal energy
consumption is vital and very important. As a result, the focus
and effort of researchers is on designing better routing
algorithms for a given application and network architecture of
interest. Flat-based routing protocols have been found to be less
advantageous to clustering routing protocols when their
performance are compared in a large-scale wireless sensor
network scenario. This is due to the fact that clustering operation
reduces the amount of redundant messages that are transmitted
all over the network when an event is detected. This paper is an
investigation of cluster-based routing protocols for wireless
sensor networks.
