    Abstract

    This paper investigates the research issues in routing protocols of the Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), since WSNs are becoming increasingly essential technology that would be used in a different type of applications such as home automation, physical monitoring, habitat monitoring, military applications, noise detection, and forest fire detection. The survey revealed that designing efficient routing protocols for sensor networks that suits sensor networks serving various applications is important. After reviewing many routing protocols the conclusion was that, swarm intelligence based routing protocols can eliminate at least one or more of the existing routing protocols limitations, such as, energy efficiency, scalability, mobility, deployment and fault tolerance.
