Research Area: Wireless Sensor Networks
Wireless sensor network (WSN) plays a significant role in various commercial, industrial and agriculture sector in wide ranges of applications. Routing is necessary to maintain the reliable communication between different nodes, cluster heads, and base station; however, performance of routing mechanism is challenging due to network lifetime, dynamic nodes, higher packet drop, scalability issue, limited adaptability and environmental conditions. This paper presents various routing techniques used in WSN that covers the brief overview of flat routing, hierarchical routing, location-based routing and bio-inspired routing techniques such as Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) and Artificial Bee Colony Optimization (ABC) algorithms. It focuses on the routing mechanism, routing scenario, mobility, scalability, energy consumption, data aggregation, performance evaluation metrics, challenges and constraints of the routing in WSN. This comprehensive survey provides the future direction for the improvement in routing mechanisms in WSN.
