Analysis and Comparison of Routing Protocols in Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract

With the continuous development of wireless sensor technology, wireless network, big data, cloud computing and other new generation of information technology, wireless sensor networks has become a research hotspot in the field of information security and an indispensable part of people’s lives. Wireless sensor networks are extensive applied into agriculture, forestry, military, medical health, urban rail transit and other fields. Energy saving and power consumption reduction are the key technologies to be solved in wireless sensor networks. Wireless Sensor Networks take common perception and acquisition of the information of the objects to be perceived as the main purpose. In the article, firstly, the classical routing protocols for wireless sensor networks are introduced. Secondly, the relevant effective energy-saving routing protocols are analyzed and compared. Finally, the future development trend of this research is prospected.
