摘要：Target tracking is an important application of wireless sensor network (WSN). The main function of wireless sensor network is data gathering and energy consumption. The main problem of sensor nodes is battery charge and replace. It is very difficult task to each sensor nodes, because every sensor nodes need more energy consumed and battery life. A sensor network considered a large number of small sensor nodes. All sensor nodes communicate data from the cluster head (CH). Cluster head communicate the information to the base station. In This paper discussed about two techniques Dynamic source routing (DSR) and Ad-hoc on demand routing (AODV) are separately and combined used in cluster tree and evaluation of the performance of cluster nodes, energy consumption in transmit, receiver and idle mode has been evaluated. The simulation have been carrying and using Qualnet 5.2 and finally it compare the results that shown the performance of cluster and heterogeneous cluster based routing protocols for various network situations.
