TLDR
This paper presents a analysis of the main routing protocols proposed for wireless sensor networks and their implications for military, environment, health, and commercial applications.
Abstract
wireless sensor networks is one of the most common communication tools used in many areas such as military, environment, health, and commercial applications. The wireless sensor network comprised of huge number of sensor nodes. The sensor nodes communicate by means of many communication strategies. Then, the data exchange is supported by multi-hop communications. Routing protocols are responsible for discovering and maintaining the routes in the network. The correctness of a particular routing protocol mainly depends on the capabilities of the nodes and on the application requirements. This paper presents a analysis of the main routing protocols proposed for wireless sensor networks
