Opportunistic routing (OR) is a new method of routing in wireless sensors networks schemes (WSN) which selects the nearest node to the target for data transmission.It uses the nature of the medium to spread information. Opportunistic routing has been proven as promising routing technique for wireless sensors networks it also increases their reliability and efficiency and effectively supports multiple simultaneous flows by using the right OR protocols. The main idea behind OR is overhearing and cooperation between the nodes. This paper reviews the basic concepts of OR and lists all it protocols.
