Routing Techniques in Sensor Network–A Survey
S. Mohana Saranya, M. Princy · Procedia Engineering · 2012
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) consist of large number of sensor nodes with sensing, communication and computation capabilities. Sensor nodes have limited energy supply, bandwidth and computational capacity. Routing in sensor network differ based on the network architecture and the application in order to achieve high energy efficiency and better lifetime. In this paper, we have given the design issues of sensor network and also we classified the routing techniques into three main categories, flat, hierarchical and location based. We have described each routing techniques in appropriate category and presented a comparison of these routing techniques.
