A Comprehensive Review of Routing Protocols in Wireless Sensor Networks

Author Name : Pooja

ABSTRACT

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) is the collection of hundreds or thousands of homogenous and self-organized nodes which are called sensor nodes with great capabilities like sensing, computation, wireless communications and these sensors have the ability to communicate either among each other or directly to an external Base Station. The basic task of sensor networks is to sense the various events, collect all data and send it to their requested destination. Routing protocols of sensor networks are responsible for maintaining the routes in the network. Different routing protocols are designed to fulfill the shortcomings of the recourse constraint nature of the WSNs. This paper presents a review of the main routing protocols proposed for wireless sensor networks.
