What is Data-Centric Protocols

Handbook of Research on Wireless Sensor Network Trends, Technologies, and Applications
In data-centric protocols, nodes do not have any global identification numbers, so they send data directly or through intermediate nodes to the sink.

Abstract
A critical issue in Wireless Sensor Networks is optimization of energy consumption. The development and deployment of various paradigms of algorithms addressing these optimization needs has formed the underlying design factors of solutions. Strong correlation exists between physical discoveries making sensors indeed cross the boundaries. This chapter presents a detail review and analysis of substantial algorithms which have structured the elevation of Wireless Sensor Networks and its realization. This encompasses the graceful migration from conventional WSN, Wireless Multimedia Sensor Network to the inventive WSN-Internet Protocol (WSN-IP). An enhanced taxonomy synthesizing these algorithms is presented to complement the identified trend transition in WSN. Each algorithm is reviewed and detail comparatives are deliberated. This chapter also presents a wide spectrum of open issues in the development of WSN algorithms for changing sensor architecture.
