Abstract: Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) possess several applications with variety of data processing techniques. Many data collection approaches are proposed and keep updating with the new application requirements. WSN is an integrated part of Internet of Things (IoT) added scalability, heterogeneity and complicated processing requirement to the WSN challenges. The accuracy of data is important as it is being used by medical fields, industries and other scientific areas. Data routing approaches are categorised according to the requirement of the application specific network. The paper describes the challenges and issues faced by the designing of data routing approaches for future WSN applications. Our literature review reveals that the extensive research in routing protocols targets energy efficiency with trade-offs between other WSN features. The compatibility issues of existing routing approaches are provided with respect to the design goals of IoT.

Keywords: wireless sensor networks; data routing; energy efficiency; fault tolerance; routing issues; security attack.
