A REVIEW ON ROUTING PROTOCOLS FOR APPLICATION IN WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS

<p>Wireless sensor networks are harshly restricted by storage capacity, energy and computing power. So it<br>is essential to design effective and energy aware protocol in order to enhance the network lifetime. In this<br>paper, a review on routing protocol in WSNs is carried out which are classified as data-centric,<br>hierarchical and location based depending on the network structure. Then some of the multipath routing<br>protocols which are widely used in WSNs to improve network performance are also discussed.<br>Advantages and disadvantages of each routing algorithm are discussed thereafter. Furthermore, this<br>paper compares and summarizes the performances of…
