Title: NETWORK LAYER IN WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS Keywords: flow control, IEEE 802.15.4, metrics, neighbor discovery, re Abstract: The network layer is responsible for establishing and maintaining end-to-end connections in the network. This typically requires a network that is fully connected whereby every node in the network can communicate with every other node, although these connections may entail multihop routing through intermediate nodes. The main functions of the network layer in an ad hoc wireless network are neighbor discovery, routing, and dynamic resource allocation. The important differences in the routing used by sensor networks is in-network processing as data aggregating and filtering redundant information. Classifying and designing of routing protocols for Wireless Sensor Networks are challenging due to the some inherent characteristics such as energy efficiency and awareness, connection maintenance, minimum resource usage limitation, low latency etc. In present paper focus is on issues on which Wireless Sensor Networks routing protocols has been categorized or classified and challenges which mus References
