Abstract

Routing protocols in wireless sensor network is used for selection of best route to fulfill the different criteria like shortest route selection, congestion control, efficient data delivery, minimizing traffic delay and reliability. This paper presents the architecture of wireless sensor network, their design issues and different routing protocols available for wireless sensor network. These protocols are classified in four different groups that are; data centric, hierarchal, location based and QoS based. Under the each category, their strength and limitations are discussed. Some open research issues of energy consumption, network stability period and its life time are also discussed.
