Title: Study and Analysis of Hierarchical Routing Protocols in Wireless Sensor Networks
Abstract: Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is an interconnected system of sensors capable of sensing environmental changes and communicating these perceived changes to a centralized location, where this sensed data can be processed for further decision-making purposes. This makes it suitable for WSNs to be successfully deployed in various domains like home monitoring, vehicle tracking, environmental monitoring, agricultural field monitoring, military applications, and many more. For successful deployment, efficiency is one of the critical terms that remain associated with WSNs, and along with other factors, efficiency largely depends on the routing protocols used to deploy WSNs. The hierarchical routing protocol is one of the routing strategies used for this, others being location-based and the traditional Flat routing protocol. This paper talks about the well-established and appreciated hierarchical routing protocols and also discusses the results of the two main hierarchical routing protocols, namely Low-Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy (LEACH) and Power-Efficient Gathering in Sensor Information System (PEGASIS). The paper will help budding researchers gain a quick insight into the discussed protocols to investigate further.
