Sensor networks are dense wireless networks of small, low-cost sensors, which collect and disseminate
environmental data, it used in a variety of fields like military surveillance, habitat monitoring,
monitoring and gathering events in hazardous environments, surveillance of buildings, whether
monitoring etc. In wireless sensor networks Flat and Hierarchical routing are two most typical routing
protocols. Comparing the two routing protocols (flat / hierarchical) is very important to know well the
performance of each routing, for that, in this paper we will discuss in first some of the major Flat routing
protocols (AODV, DSDV, GSR, FSR, OLSR, SPIN) and hierarchical routing protocols (LEACH-C,
LEACH-F, PEGASIS, ZHLS) for wireless sensor networks, and later we will compare and simulate the
behavior on lifetime and energy using NS2 simulator for flat and hierarchical routing protocols.
