无线传感器网络路由协议研究浅析

Wireless sensor network is a new kind of self-organization network, which is different from the traditional wireless networks, so the routing of traditional wireless network cannot be directly used for Wireless sensor network. The challenge of resource limitation and frequent node failure led to many routing protocols for wireless sensor networks. The paper introduced the features of wireless sensor networks, and analyzed the recent routing protocol of wireless sensor network. Then divided the routing protocols into three categories, analyzed the routing protocols belongs to each of them respectively, and compared the characteristics of these protocols. The paper concluded with current research trends, and provided a reference for future research.
