Abstract: The aim of this paper is to summarise all information related to routing in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). The available routing techniques are divided in three ways: hierarchical, flat and location-based routing. WSNs are made of small nodes, wireless communication capabilities, and computation. Various researchers are working on the technique which can be a combination of effective routing and optimised energy consumption. From the last two decades, this has been the issue to improve the power usage of the router used in WSNs. The energy issue can be addressed by using different protocols in WSNs router. Currently, available protocols are query-based, multi-path, QoS-based, negotiation-based and coherent-based. In this paper, each routing technique is discussed in great detail with their advantages and disadvantages. Author also has highlighted the future area of research.

Keywords: wireless sensor networks; WSNs; fault tolerance; scalability; energy consumption.
