A review on Routing Techniques in Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract: Wireless sensors network (WSN) consist of homogenous, self organized nodes known as sensor nodes. The sensor nodes have the capability to sense an event and to process the data.In this paper,we give an overview on routing techniques in WSN.The focus has been given on their classification.The routing protocols are broadly classified into two categories as route selection based routing protocols and network architecture based routing protocols.The two sub categories are further classified, that is presented in this paper.As we know each protocol has some advantages as well as some disadvantages so we compare them in this paper by using recent research.
