Sensor node in the wireless sensor network are battery constrained as well as the energy in
it is minimal. As sensor nodes are required to sense the environment conditions like
temperature, humidity etc. Since Sensor node continuously sense data most of the energy is
used for sensing and collection of data. Energy consumption is a major research problem in
WSN. Major setup in clustering is formation of cluster which is done on the basis of received
signal strength of the nodes. When clustering is done and data is transmitted most of the …

This paper deals with criterion used to measure communication protocol efficiency in
Wireless Sensor Networks. As energy is a crucial characteristic of those networks, it is
necessary to pay attention both to the energy consumption and to the distribution of energy
consumption, when using communication protocols, so as to increase the lifetime of the
whole network. Our aim is to present and discuss criterion designed to analyze
communication protocol effectiveness. Clustering routing protocol provides an effective …
