The era of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) emerged due to the advancement in information technology for internet of things. In WSN large numbers of sensor nodes are deployed to sensing and collecting information from its surrounding and send them to the base station with the help of routing protocol. Routing protocols are used to maintain and identify the routes in the network. Energy consumption is a major challenge in WSN. There are various routing protocols for handling routing problems as well as optimizing energy consumption in WSN. In this paper we have used Qual Net 7.1 simulator to perform simulation analysis of IARP, RIP and STAR routing protocols based on different performance metrics such as number of update packets sent, node wise energy consumption as well as percentage of time in different modes, average energy consumed in transmit, receive and idle mode with different terrain sizes …
