A Review of Location-Based Geographic Routing Protocols for Wireless Sensor Networks

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 design of an efficient routing protocol is one of the most important considerations in design of WSNs. The routing protocols can be of flat topology or hierarchical topology. The routing protocols can also be data-centric, whose main aim is the reduction of the redundant data. These may be location-dependent also, as in the Geographic routing protocols. In this paper, some of the major geographic routing protocols for WSNs are presented.
