Abstract:
Mobile sensor networks (MSNs) have been widely studied in recent years and are expected to be applied in a variety of applications such as battlefield surveillance, event detections, hostile environment monitoring, and wild animal tracking. In this report, we list out the existing routing protocol for wireless sensor networks. A WSN is composed of a large number of sensor nodes that are densely deployed either inside the phenomenon or very close to it. The position of sensor nodes need not be engineered or predetermined. This allows random deployment in inaccessible terrains or disaster relief operation. In this paper we study different type of routing protocol for sensor network like flooding, SPIN (Sensor Protocols for Information via Negotiation), LEACH (Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy) in details and check how they different from the ad hoc network. SPIN and LEACH routing protocol are compared with flooding protocol.
