Wireless sensor network is ever-growing field in today’s society. Smart homes with wirelessly connected and controllable devices, continuous monitoring in environmental, health care and industrial settings, and automated, self-adjusting systems in homes and factories are all growing technologies that are built using wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Based on network structure, routing protocols in WSNs can be divided into two categories: flat routing and clustering routing. As there are variety of advantages, clustering is becoming an active branch of routing technology in WSNs. Also wireless sensor network is an emerging technology that promises a wide range of potential applications in both civilian and military areas. In many of these systems, energy consumption can be a major concern. Most devices in the network rely on small batteries as their energy source. Because of this, any energy usage optimization can lead to greatly increased lifetime.
