The very challenging requirement of WSN is energy efficiency, which depends upon the distributed design and dynamic topology of the network. This requirement can be fulfilled by the multi-hop energy efficient routing protocols. The objective of all the energy efficient protocols is to extend the network’s lifetime. Sensor nodes are battery operated, so generally concern of all routing protocols is to conserve energy. In this chapter, energy efficient protocols are categorized into two types (i) heterogeneity based energy efficient routing protocols and (ii) chain based energy efficient routing protocols. Comparisons of various energy efficient routing protocols are specified here with open issues. A systematic and comprehensive taxonomy of various energy aware schemes are discussed in depth. This chapter is focused on various energy conservation schemes and hence, discussion of various routing protocols gives the readers a new insight.
