A Review Paper on Routing Protocols

Abstract

WSN is a wireless network which comprises of small sensors. These sensors are used for creating a route between source and sink node in case of data transferring. The route creation is done by inter-connecting the most adjacent nodes. Routing is used to find the shortest distance between the different nodes from source to destination. Routing is basically used to find the efficient path to send the packets from source to destination. There are varieties of routing protocols which are specially meant for establishing efficient route between sources and sink node. This study is conducted for having a review over the work that has been done previously in this field.

It represents the basic concept of routing along with its related terms such as Protocols developed for routing along with their brief explanation. The work is divided into sub section, section 1 represents the introduction to the topic, and section 2 represents the protocols of routing, section 3 represents the work which has been done in this field by various experts.
