Table 2.

State-of-the-art analysis of temperature-aware routing protocols.

Methods Objective Limitations Domain
TARA [45] Compute the temperature-rise
of nodes and redirect the
packet from hotspot area.
Failed to provide hotspot avoidance.
High node temperature with less
network life cycle.
Cancer and retinal
detection
LTRT [43] Temperature-rise is less.
Packet rate is high and
throughput.
Network life cycle is less
with no hotspot avoidance.
Monitoring system
for cardiac patients
RAIN [42] Efficiently route selection
toward sink in an id-less BSN.
Diminish the problem of hotspot.
Delay in packet delivery. In-vivo network
of implanted
sensors nodes
M-ATTEMPT [38] To route the packet
away from hotspot area.
Failed to select new
route in case of hotspot.
Load distribution on
node is not uniform.
Homogeneous and
Heterogeneous
WBAN
Re-ATTEMPT [38] To route the packet away
from hotspot area and
increase network life.
The network life cycle is less Homogeneous and
Heterogeneous
WBAN
HPR [40] Diminish the problem of
hotspot in network.
The network life cycle is less Heterogeneous
WSN’s
THSR [41] To minimize the
temperature of
the node and avoid
hotspot creation.
Network life cycle is less Heterogeneous
WSN’s
LTR [44] To diminish the temperature
of the node in a network
and route the packet
away from the hotspot
Packet throughput is less.
High node temperature.
Network life time is less
Monitoring system
for cardiac patients
M2E2 [37] To route the packet away
from hotspot area and
increase the network
life in wireless body
sensor networks.
High node temperature. Heterogeneous
WSN’s
ALTR [44] To minimize the temperature
of the node
in a network
High end-to-end delay
with less network life.
Packet drop throughput is less.
