Wireless sensor networks have found immense application after the advancement of wireless technology. A wireless sensor network is a combination of large number of sensing devices called sensor nodes. The communication between these sensor nodes is governed by a number of routing protocols which follow varying strategies. These protocols are extensively responsible for the performance of any wireless sensor network. This paper presents an extensive survey and study of various routing protocols based on different administrative strategies.
