A Study on Energy-Efficient Routing Protocols for Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract
Wireless sensor networks entail of miniaturized battery-powered sensor nodes with inhibited computational competency. Thus, a routing protocol for sensor networks needs to ensure uniform energy dispersal during its operation. In addition, it is also expected to guarantee fast data delivery irrespective of node density, besides being flexible in terms of the routing framework and route computation metric. The restricted and constrained resources in wireless sensor networks have directed research towards minimization of energy consumption, reduced storage usage and complexity of routing functionalities. In this paper, a number of striking routing algorithms have been studied to afford an insight into energy-efficient designs and present a generous study of different topology control techniques for sensor networks. The routing protocols have been categorized based on the underlying network structure: flat, location based and hierarchical. For all of the protocol families, authors have stressed on the primary motivation behind the development and expounded their operation along with the advantages and disadvantages of those protocols. In conclusion, a number of open research issues have been pointed as an outcome for achieving energy adeptness in the development of routing protocols.

Energy efficient and QoS-aware routing protocol for wireless sensor network-based smart grid applications in the context of industry 4.0

TL;DR: A novel dynamic clustering based energy efficient and quality-of-service (QoS)-aware routing protocol (called EQRP), which is inspired by the real behavior of the bird mating optimization (BMO), has been proposed and performance results show that the proposed protocol has successfully reduced the end-to-end delay and has improved packet delivery ratio, memory utilization, residual energy, and throughput.

ARRIVE: Algorithm for Robust Routing in Volatile Environments

TL;DR: ARRIVE is a probabilistic algorithm that leverages the high node density and the inherent broadcast medium found in sensor networks to achieve routing robust to both link failures and patterned node failures without resorting to periodic flooding of the network.
