Lovepreet Kaur . Energy-Efficient Routing Protocols in Wireless Sensor Networks: A Survey. International Journal of Computer Applications. 100, 1 ( August 2014), 25-29. DOI=10.5120/17489-8006
This paper represents energy efficient routing protocols in WSN. It is a collection of sensor nodes with a set of limited Processor and limited memory unit embedded in it. Reliable routing of packets from the sensor node to its base station is the most important task for the networks. The routing protocols applied for the other networks cannot be used here due to its battery powered nodes This paper gives an overview of the different routing strategies used in wireless sensor networks and gives a brief working model of energy efficient routing protocols in WSN. It also shows the comparison of these different routing protocols based on metrics such as mobility support, stability, issues and latency.
