Energy efficient routing protocols for Wireless Sensor Networks: A survey
Cosmin Cirstea · 2011
This paper provides an up to date evaluation of routing protocols as well as a description of state of the art routing techniques for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) that enhance network lifetime through efficient energy consumption methods. We study the tradeoffs between energy and communication overhead and highlight the advantages and disadvantages of each routing protocol with the purpose of discovering new research directions.
