Abstract

Advancements in wireless sensor networks have led the researchers to develop new protocols to cater all the stringent requirements of WSN. Awareness in routing protocols has been considered a most important issue because they are dependent upon the applications design and architecture. WSN systems gather data from multiple sensors to monitor some area. Networking and management of these sensors is difficult task due to various constraints imposed on tiny nodes. Routing is very challenging job in WSN due to contemporary communication. In this chapter, we have thrown light on the various challenges and design issues in WSN. A general classification of routing protocols is presented here with advantages and limitation of each scheme. Overview of applications of WSN and future trends towards the multi-hop routing protocols is discussed here with various research issues.
