Abstract

From few years, interest in wireless sensor networks has been in potential use for many applications like border security surveillance, disaster management, field of health and objection detection in remote areas. Sensors are deployed in wide area to operate autonomously for long time in unattended environment. Sensors are equipped with low memory and limited battery power. The main job of wireless sensor nodes is to sense, gather and transmit the data to the center location. This requires the efficient routing paths to be set up between the sink and the sensor nodes which can be satisfied by various routing protocols. Industrialists, Individuals, researchers and students are trying to develop the efficient routing protocols in terms of various quality of service metrics. To develop the routing protocols it is necessary to understand the basics of WSN. In this chapter, we have given the brief overview of fundamentals of WSN, a deep insight into comparative study of various multi-hop routing protocols with future scope.
