无线传感器网络路由协议分类研究

Research on Routing Protocol Classification for Wireless Sensor Networks

无线传感器网络具有与传统网络不同的特点,且与应用高度相关。传统网络及移动自组织网络的路由协议不能有效地用于无线传感器网络,因而研究人员提出了众多的路由协议。在介绍了无线传感器网络的特点及路由协议设计的关键问题之后,总结分析了现存的路由协议的分类方法,并对各类路由协议从路由策略、路由协议的特点、性能等多方面进行了对比分析,指出了各类路由协议的优缺点及其包含的路由协议。最后总结出未来的研究热点和发展趋势。

Wireless sensor networks are different from traditional networks and highly dependent on applications, so traditional network and mobile ad hoe network muting protocols cannot be applied efficiently to them. Therefore many muting protocols for wireless sensor networks are studied. After describing the characteristics and key design problems of wireless sensor networks, the classification standards for routing protocols are summarized and analyzed. Then the routing strategies, characteristics and performances are compared and the advantages and disadvantages as well as routing protocols it contained are pointed out. Finally, the hotspots and tendencies for wireless sensor networks are pointed out.
