Abstract: WSN i. e. Wireless sensor networks are composed of a large number of small sensing self-powered nodes which gather information about their environment and cooperate to communicate the collected data in a wireless fashion to a base station. Wireless sensor network (WSN) consist of a large number of sensor nodes which are distributed randomly over an area in order to collect information and proceed it. In Wireless sensor networks have a unique capacity to remotely sense the environment. These systems are often deployed in remote or hard to reach areas. Hence it is critical that such networks operate for long time durations as battery is the sole source of energy. Therefore for extending network lifetime through the efficient use of energy has been important issue in the development of wireless sensor networks. Therefore the energy consumption creates major problems in WSN.
