This brief provides an overview of recent developments in multi-hop routing protocols for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). It introduces the various classifications of routing protocols and lists the pros and cons of each category, going beyond the conceptual overview of routing classifications offered in other books. Recently many researchers have proposed numerous multi-hop routing protocols and thereby created a need for a book that provides its readers with an up-to-date road map of this research paradigm.

The authors present some of the most relevant results achieved by applying an algorithmic approach to the research on multi-hop routing protocols. The book covers measurements, experiences and lessons learned from the implementation of multi-hop communication prototypes. Furthermore, it describes future research challenges and as such serves as a useful guide for students and researchers alike.

Provides an overview of recent advances in multi-hop routing protocols in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) Presents a complete taxonomy of multi-hop routing protocols in WSNs Demonstrates current trends by presenting an overview of classifications of routing techniques and related technical studies Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
