Abstract: 
Sensor network applications have become part of everyday life applications. Creating such networks needs to meet its own constraints, such as: the energy consumption, scalability, fault tolerance, estimated cost, and the possibility of changing the network topography and the environment. In this work, a survey on hierarchical routing protocols in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) was performed. WSNs hold tiny nodes with ability of sensing, communications, and computation. Due to the power limitation of the sensor unit, several hierarchical routing protocols have been proposed for minimizing power exhaustion. Much research labor has been implemented to overcome weakness and to upgrade the performance of hierarchical routing protocols. So, a universal review is needed which can review latest technologies, construe functional and performance sides, and focus on issues and challenges of hierarchical routing protocol in WSNs. lastly, the paper focus on issues and challenges in current routing protocols of WSNs, which can aide in outlook research for election of appropriate research field and supply guidance in selection of energy awareness techniques in the design of improving energy of routing protocols for WSNs.
