In the advent of wireless networking, wireless sensor network (WSN) has been a constant target of research due to its potential data aggregation techniques in hostile environment. Even after crossing more than a decade, wireless sensor network is still more under research and development and less on commercial deployment when it comes to large scale wireless environment. Although, there are various issues exists in WSN that ranges from quality of service to security policies, it was frequently

The past research work has witness massive volumes of algorithms using various sophisticated technologies in order to mitigate the issues of energy problems in sensor motes, however, till date none of the prior studies has yet been standardized and hence the issues of unwanted power depletion still persist because of numerous unsolved factors. This paper is an attempt to study only the prominent techniques that has been introduced in the past for energy efficiency exclusively for hierarchical routing protocols. A brief review of some prior Swarm Intelligence (SI) techniques is also given a special focus for the similar purpose in this paper.
