Abstract

^{Routing protocols are used to route the sensed data of the}^{sensor nodes in Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) to the network}^{administrator. The choice of the routing protocol effects on the}^{sensor nodes lifetime. This paper discusses different}^{approaches used in the design of the routing protocols and their}^{effectiveness on WSN performance. The routing protocols are}^{classified according to the network structure or the operation of}^{the routing protocol. One of the routing protocols according to}^{the network structure is hierarchical routing protocol. The main}^{aim of hierarchical routing protocols is to optimize energy}^{consumption of sensor nodes by arranging the nodes into}^{clusters. The energy is consumed in the process of sending and}^{receiving data between the sensor nodes in WSN and also in}^{the process of network clustering periodically. Different}^{approaches are introduced through many hierarchical routing}^{protocols. Their performance are compared with each other}^{using popular metrics such as WSN lifetime and throughput.}^{The results show that the dependence on Cluster Heads (CHs)}^{lifetime to elect new CHs enhances the WSN lifetime in}^{comparison with the periodic CH elections.}
