The area of wireless sensor network is one of the
emerging and fast growing field in the world but a key issue
in WSN is maximizing the network lifetime. Network lifetime
is important in sensor node when the sensor node, distributed
typically in remote area is powered by finite energy batteries.
This brought about low cost, low power and multifunctional
sensor nodes. However, the major fact that sensor node run
out of energy quickly has been an issue and many energy
routing protocols have been proposed to sort out the problem
and increase the longetivity of the network. This is the only
reason why routing protocol in WSN mainly focus on the
power conservation. Most of the protocol is designed to
minimize the energy conservation in sensor network. This
thesis work proposed a hierarchical routing technique which
shows energy.

This paper gives a brief introduction about WSN with its
components and classification and architecture, various
aspects, energy consumption reasons and solutions for
energy efficiency and applications of WSN. This is also
useful to understand the battery consumption factors and
saving energy in WSN. Different models of WSN were
also explained in this paper.
