Survey on Energy-Aware Routing and Routing Protocols for Sensor Networks

Overview Undergoing revolution in Wireless Sensor Networks, which is made up of battery-powered nodes empowered with a multitude of sensing modalities, promises to have a significant impact throughout society. Significant improvement and advancement in processor design, computing in battery technology still lag behind, making energy resource the major bottleneck in Wireless Sensor Network. Limited energy nodes are not taken into account in the traditional routing protocols, which has significant impact on the overall energy dissipation. There are protocols like table driven, on-demand for such network which follows direct transmission, minimum-transmission-energy, multi-hop routing, or static clustering. Optimal routing tries to maximize the duration over which the sensing task can be performed.

VoIP primer: How it works - and what the jargon means

But IP, of course, was not designed to provide a guaranteed quality of service (QoS) to the traffic it carries; it was originally designed as a way of diversely routing data to ensure redundancy in case network nodes were being jammed, crashed or...
