Energy consumption optimization remains a critical challenge in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), especially in situations where node energy cannot be replenished. Optimal routing strategies are paramount in managing energy utilization, emphasizing the significance of routing methods in WSNs that are energy-efficient. This paper delves into the nuances of energy-efficient routing protocols characterized into four innovative schemes: (i) Topology-Based Model (ii) Communication Model, and (iii) Network Structure. Notably, the Network Structure category is explored in-depth, distinguishing between flat and cluster-based approaches, and (iv) Reliable Routing. This work specifically hones in on the advancements within the cluster-based routing protocols, renowned for their prowess in energy consumption reduction within WSNs. The study conducts a comprehensive review and analysis, focusing on key performance indicators including clustering strategy, data delivery delay, scalability, energy efficiency, and algorithm complexity.
