Abstract

In recent advances, wireless sensor network energy efficiency is the prime consideration. The routing protocols in WSNs are different from traditional network, application-oriented and depending on network architecture. This paper consists of a survey in the area of routing protocol for WSNs. The routing is categorized into five major sections: data-centric, self-organizing, hierarchical-oriented, location-aware and network flow and QoS-aware. Various protocols fall in these categories described in appropriate section.
