Dynamic routing protocols for wireless touch networks: a review

Abstract

Wireless Touch Networks (WTN) have become increasingly important with the emergence of the Internet of Things (IoT) and are regarded as a class of self-organizing networks. This article presents an overview of the construction principles, routing protocols, quality of service parameters, traffic models, and characteristics of WTN. The article also explores the application of dynamic routing protocols for constructing a self-organizing network of autonomous IoT systems. Known dynamic routing protocols for mobile radio networks are reviewed and the advantages and disadvantages of proactive and reactive approaches are discussed.
