Routing remains a most challenging task in sensor networks because of constrained resources like battery power, processing, and\nmemory. Many energy efficiency techniques for the sensor networks have been proposed, among which hierarchical routing is\nconsidered the most energy-efficient and extended network lifetime technique. This technique has a lesser number of transmissions\nin the network. On the contrary, zone-based routing claims lesser control and routing overhead on the overall network\nlifetime. In this research, a simulation-based comparison of zone-based routing with static clustering hierarchical routing is\nconducted. The simulation results show that the zone-based routing outperforms hierarchical routing with static clustering in\nterms of energy efficiency, network lifetime, and throughput.
