Abstract:A large number of routing-related surveys are published so far for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) that exhibit either complete or partial emphasis on routing in WSNs. These surveys classify and discuss the relevant routing protocols published mainly in the fields of classical, energy efficient, secure, hierarchical, geographic, intelligent, Quality of Service (QoS)-based and multipath WSNs. However, to the best of our knowledge, no study is presented so far which may clearly categorize the routing-related survey literature for WSNs.To fill this gap, an effort is made in this paper for presenting an in-depth review of already published routing-related survey literature in WSNs. Our review initially proposes a generalized survey design model and afterwards analyzes the routing-related survey literature in the light of the devised General Survey Design Framework (GSDF). Such an analysis describes the design soundness of the published routing-related surveys. Therefore, our review puts forth an original classification based on the frequency-of-survey-publication and taxonomizes the corresponding routing-related fields into high, medium and low focused areas of survey publication in WSNs. Furthermore, the surveys belonging to each main category are sub-categorized into various sub-classes and briefly discussed according to their design characteristics. On the one hand, this review is useful for beginners who may easily explore the already published routing-related survey literature in WSNs in a single document and investigate it by spending less effort. On the other hand, it is useful for expert researchers who may explore the trends and frequency of writing surveys in different areas of routing in WSNs. The experts may explore those areas of routing which are either neglected or least focused or lack in design soundness as per general survey design framework. In the end, insights and future research directions are outlined and a reasonable conclusion is put forth which may outline guiding principles for routing-related survey research in future.

“…It can improve the network scalability and lifetime, and also energy efficiency. It is efficient to lower the energy consumption within each cluster, performing data aggregation and fusion to decrease the number of transmitted messages to the BS [13][14][15][16].…”

“…We use the radio model adopted in [10][11][12][13][14], which is the first order radio model. To derive the energy consumption per any type of node, both the free space (d 2 power loss) and the multipath fading (d 4 power loss) channel model are used which are based on the distance between the transmitter and receiver.…”

In this paper we propose an energy efficient clustering algorithm for maximizing the lifetime of WSNs. The proposed scheme decides the cluster head based on the energy level of the nodes, while tree topology is adopted to connect the nodes inside each cluster. A new model for deciding an optimal number of clusters is also derived. Computer simulation reveals that the proposed scheme significantly extends the network lifetime and message delivery ratio compared to the existing schemes.

“…During the routing, local processing inside each node is required to reduce the bandwidth requirement due to the limited wireless channel bandwidth shared by many sensor nodes in the network. There exist many routing schemes proposed for WSNs [12,13].…”

A Spanning Tree Based Data Collection for Real-Time Streaming Sensor Data

Wireless sensor networks are widely used for gathering data in the distributed fashion. Since the network consists of low-cost nodes of limited battery power, it is a challenging task to design an energy efficient routing scheme. In this paper we propose a novel clustering algorithm based on spanning tree of bounded degree in each cluster for energy efficient WSNs. The proposed scheme selects the cluster-head considering the residual energy of each node, and partitions each cluster for constructing efficient routing paths to the base station. Computer simulation shows that the proposed scheme effectively reduces and balances the energy consumption among the nodes, and thus significantly extends the network lifetime compared to the existing schemes such as LEACH, PEGASIS, and TREEPSI.
