Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) within the zone time regulate to greater enticing and develop their manner into massive variance of exercise in distinctive domains. Elevation in wireless sensor network technology provide the affability of small and low cost sensor nodes with the adequacy of sensing, processing, computing the physical and surroundings circumstances. Due to inhibition in transmission range, processing and power resources it is considered necessary to design awesome and energy aware protocol to increase network lifetime. Routing strategies are developing to boom life cycle of sensor network and increase throughput performance. This paper gives, an analysis of various routing strategies used in wireless sensor networks in addition importance of cluster based routing, and varieties of cluster, type of cluster based routing are discussed. The observe concludes with the issues and the resent researchers on cluster based routing.


Sensors are used in many fields to collect the information and send it to the central location;the role of energy conservation is more important in Media Access Protocol. This paper presents the limitation and description of MAC protocols with different techniques used in BMAC, LMAC, XMAC protocols and we implement BMAC, LMAC, XMAC protocol in Omnetpp5.5.1 simulator as per default configuration and values to run the protocols in omnetpp5.5.1 simulator and compare these three protocols as per energy parameters and find out the energy efficientMAC protocol. Our simulation result shows that the XMAC protocol is a more energy efficient, collision free protocol, the no of packets loss is also reduced in the XMAC protocol.
