Review on DRINA: An Energy Efficient Routing Approach for Wireless Sensor Networks

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are increasingly implemented in different area of applications. It is possible that the data collected by adjacent nodes can be redundant due to large numbers of nodes in these networks, so aggregation of data should be exploited for Energy conservation in WSNs. It is very important to transmit the aggregated data to the sink node or base station effectively and reliably. Here, DRINA (Data routing for in-network aggregation) algorithm is studied. It uses data aggregation as key point and reliably route data using a fault-tolerant routing mechanism.
