The wireless sensor networks (WSN) consists of several autonomous sensor nodes with sensing, processing and wireless
communication capabilities. Clustering the sensor nodes is an effective technique to power management and data dissemination
routing protocols have been specifically designed for WSNs where energy consumption is an essential design issue. In this paper we
discussed about clustered based routing protocols because clustering increases scalability of the network, balances energy
consumption among the nodes in the network, and reduces the amount of data that is actually transmitted to the base station due
to the aggregation process.
