Abstract

The usage of the appropriate routing protocol algorithm in wireless sensor network (WSN) research is an important issue. Depending upon the deployed network topology, routing protocols can be classified in many ways including hierarchical cluster-based routing protocol. The hierarchical cluster-based routing protocol is pursuing an energy- efficient way to reduce the overall energy consumption within the monitoring cluster area by performing data aggregation along with data fusion. The objective of this study is to present a state-of-the-art survey on selected hierarchical cluster-based routing protocols in WSNs. In this paper, hierarchical cluster-based routing protocol algorithms are reviewed and compared with their advantages and disadvantages along with their main contributions. Additionally, each hierarchical cluster-based routing protocol algorithm is analyzed by comparing the measurement parameters of their performance.
