Evaluation of Wireless Sensor Network Routing Protocols with Respect to Power Efficiency

Recent advances in the trend of development of small and powerful battery backed sensor node. These sensor nodes are deployed for various surveillance activities and thus forming a network. There has been numerous amount of research work for the development of power efficient routing protocols for the network of these limited power sensor nodes. This paper provides a survey of these routing protocols on basis and concludes with grading each protocol on energy saving.
