Abstract

Routing in both PANs and sensor networks can be significantly improved, if each node knows the network topology. However, this leads to high signalling overhead and power loss, given the frequent network topology changes. In order to compromise between efficient routing and communications /power limitations, various algorithms have been proposed. In this paper, a selection of algorithms proposed for ad-hoc networks are classified according to their relevancy and efficiency, when applied to PANs and sensor networks.
