"A Survey on Routing in Wireless Sensor Networks"

By Mr. Yunhuai Liu


Abstract:

One of the most important issues in wireless sensor networks is data
delivery service between sensors and the data collection unit (called
sink). Although sensor networks and mobile ad hoc networks are similar to
some extent, they are radically distinct in many aspects. Sensor networks
have many unique features making them more challenge and need further
research efforts. Existing routing protocols for wireless sensor networks
can be classified as indicator-based and indicator-free. In this survey,
we make a comparative study of these protocols in terms of assumptions
used, routing services provided, and performances evaluation. Open issues
and research directions are pointed out as guide-lines for our future
work.
