Energy consumption varies with the routing protocols used, whereby the selection of these protocols depends on the application in the wireless sensor networks. The other objective is to achieve a longer life of nodes and to make the communication among nodes and the Base Station economical. In this paper, we discuss various hierarchical routing protocols such as LEACH, TEEN, HEED and PEGASIS based on different parameters like energy consumption, throughput and packet dropping ratio along with the different simulation environment used for emulation and simulating the wireless sensor network scenarios viz NS-2, NS-3, OMNeT++, MATLAB, QualNet and TOSSIM. |
