Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks (MWSNs) is an emerging technology that senses the data through mobile sensor nodes.
As they are mobile in nature they change their position from time to time in a sensing area. Energy efficiency is a major challenge in
Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks as the node consumes energy during mobility, data transmission and data reception. Clustering is an
energy efficient technique to reduce the energy consumption of the nodes. This paper explains about the energy efficient clustering
algorithms in Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks that have been proposed earlier by the authors in different journals and further compares
the energy consumption of the network based on time. This paper analyses the result based on existing energy efficient Clustering
algorithms like Enhanced Energy Efficient Clustering Algorithm (EEECA), Grid based Energy Efficient Clustering Algorithm (GEECA)
and Density based Mean Grid Energy Efficient Clustering Algorithm (DMGEECA) for Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks.

Energy Efficiency is a major task in Mobile Wireless
Sensor Networks which is resolved through the Clustering
technique. The study deals with various Energy Efficient
Clustering algorithms like EEECA, GEECA and
DMGEECA. The ultimate purpose of those algorithms is to
reduce the Energy Consumption and maximize the
Network Lifetime. The results of the existing algorithms
are confined to give better result. The performances of
three algorithms EEECA, GEECA and DMGEECA
discussed in this paper. Here Energy Efficient Clustering
algorithm reduces the Energy Consumption of the nodes
increases the lifetime of the nodes thereby increasing the
lifetime of the Network. DMGEECA algorithm is more
efficient in terms of Energy Consumption of the Clusters
than EEECA and GEECA.
