Abstract

Wireless Sensor Networks are gaining significance over time as technology is advancing. With more usage of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN), few implementations require data communication be with minimum latency. Throughput is considered a significant parameter in some implementations where the delay is given less significance. Every application has requirement based on what parameters are important. Understanding the structure of network and the ability to pick the best routing protocol is significant and it should be suitable for the use case. In this work, we present an overview of existing routing methods in WSN. Firstly, we diagram the design considerations for protocols in WSN following this we provide an overview of distinctive techniques used in routing.
