A Review of Routing Protocols for Wireless Sensor Network

Abstract

 Wireless sensor network has come out as a useful add-on to the modern wireless communication networks. The saving of energy consumption results in increase of network lifetime of Wireless Sensor Networks. Many routing, power management, and data dissemination protocols have been specifically designed for WSNs where energy awareness is an essential design issue. To prolong the lifetime of the sensor nodes, designing efficient routing protocols is critical. Depending on the application and network architecture, the routing protocols in WSNs might differ. Newer Routing protocols are required to cater to the need of ubiquitous and pervasive computing. In this paper routing challenges and design issues of routing protocol has been studied. And then this paper studies recent routing protocols for wireless sensor networks and presents a classification and comparisons of them. In the end, the paper suggests some possible future research areas of routing protocols for WSNs.
