Wireless Sensor Network is the collection of tiny sensor nodes which are commonly used to collect information and data from different target area. A sensor network system includes sensor node (end device), sink node (sink) and coordinator node (coordinator). The routing protocol of WSN is to find the optimal route between the source node and destination node. In WSN, energy is crucial challenges for sensor node for sensing and transferring the data to the nearest node or to the sink as per clustering approach. The main requirement of a wireless sensor network is to prolong network energy efficiency and lifetime. Communication stops when these nodes lose their energy completely. In this survey paper, We present energy efficient hierarchical routing protocol, developed from conventional LEACH routing protocol. Furthermore, this paper also highlights some of the issues faced by LEACH and also explains that how these issues are tackled by extended version of LEACH.
