Routing protocols overview and design issues for self-organized network

A self-organized network is a kind of wireless network that can be deployed instantly and provide easy network communication without the support of pre-established network infrastructures, such as base stations. This network architecture brings promise of much better mobility and communication capacity. Various routing protocols have been presented. This paper gives a detailed study of whether each of them works and whether there is a superior one that can function successfully under all kinds of situations. We conclude that there is no superior protocol for all situations and look at the main issues to be considered when designing routing protocols for a self-organized network.
