Geographic Routing Protocols for Wireless Sensor Networks : A Review

39 Abstract— Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), which is a system of nodes connected by wireless links, is a very popular area for exploration. The nodes are free to move around and organize themselves into a network. The network topology is often changing, and for relatively smaller networks, the flat routing schemes are sufficient. However in larger networks, either geographical or hierarchical routing protocols are required. Geographical routing uses location information to formulate an efficient route search toward the destination. In this paper, some of the major geographic routing protocols for WSNs are presented.
