In recent years, the applications of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have been increased tremendously. In WSNs mechanism used to enlarge the lifespan of network and provide more efficient functioning procedures that is clustering. Clustering is a procedure to subdivide the sensing field of sensor network into number of clusters. Each cluster selects a leader or hear called cluster head. A cluster head might be elected by the sensor node within the cluster or may be pre-assigned by the network administrator. Optimized Clustering can save lot of energy in the network. In our paper we have surveyed various clustering protocols for wireless sensor networks and compared on various parameters like cluster count, cluster size, cluster density, message count, node deployment, heterogeneity of nodes, location awareness and cluster head selection process etc. In this paper a survey of various popular WSN protocol has been reviewed, majorly LEACH, SEP, HEED & DEEC.
