Elevation in wireless sensor network technologies provide the affability of small and low-cost sensor nodes with the adequacy of sensing, processing, computing the physical and environment circumstances. Due to inhibitionin transmission range, processing and energy resources it is requisite to design impressive and energy aware protocol to enhance network lifetime.Routing techniques are develop to increase life cycle of sensor network and enhance throughput performance. This paper gives, an analysis of different routing strategies used in wireless sensor networks further importance of cluster based routing, types of cluster, classification of cluster based routing are discussed. The study concludes with the issues and the resent researchers on cluster based routing. Keywords: Wireless Sensor Network, Routing Schemes, Clustering-based Routing. I. INTRODUCTION Now a day’s wireless sensor networks are mostly used in civilian application areas such as monitoring, tracking, traffic control and health applications. WSN consist of wireless modules called sensor nodes [1]. Architecture of sensor nodes is as follows: Power Unit Power Generator Sensor ADC Processor Storage Transceiver Position Finding System Mobilizer Sensing Unit Processing Unit Fig.1 Components of sensor nodes Due to limitation on transmission bandwidth, power supply and processing capability, efficient routing become important in wireless sensor network. According to the network structure routing in WSN is divided into two types: flat routing and hierarchical routing. In flat routing, all the node preform the same task and have same functionality in network. Generally Flooding technique are used in which information dissemination is done hop by hop.It is most effective in small-scale networks [2].
