During the past few years, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have been developed massively as one of the fastest growing emerging technologies for transmitting information over the network. Nowadays, WSN is hurriedly growing its limbs in almost every sector of science and technology. The WSN composed of a vast number of small nodes that operate sensing, data collection, aggregation, compression and transmission. Due to the very narrow size of the sensor nodes, the tiny battery usually has a minimal power resource. Hence, the main challenge for WSN is to use this deficient battery power in an effective way to increase the sensor networks' lifetime and minimize energy consumption. However, numerous sophisticated clustering routing protocols have already been adopted in WSN for limiting the consumed power.
