Abstract
Although numerous proposals have been made for ad hoc network routing protocols, not all of them are suitable for the wireless sensor networks in home automation (WSHA). Selecting the most appropriate routing protocols for WSHA requires good knowledge of its particular characteristics and requirements. In this paper, we analyze the basic characteristics and requirements of WSHA, and evaluate some popular routing protocols for their suitability to WSHA. We also provide recommendations for optimizing the protocols for the best WSHA performance.
