Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks And Hierarchical Routing Protocols: A Review

Abstract

A lot of progression has been observed in Mobile Wireless Sensor Network (MWSN) in modern era due to its applications in vicinity. Recent trends show how it is very challenging to retain stability in the network in terms of delay, packet delivery ratio and stability. Nodes mobilization is vital in stabilizing the network, and various routing protocols are used to maintain connectivity, throughput, coverage, minimal energy cost. As a matter of fact it is really demanding that a single routing protocol will be able to cover up for numerous circumstances altogether. Several routing protocols have been worked upon for a variety of network scenarios. The categorization of routing protocols is countered on the basis of type of network structure, information status, network efficiency and mobility. In this paper Hierarchal routing protocols classification is presented which can help enhance network life and save energy consumption.
