Creates a subgraph of the sensor network that contains the ME path
2.Flooding
Broadcasts data to all neighbor nodes regardless if they receive it before or not
3.Gossiping
Sends data to one randomly selected neighbor
4.SPIN
Sends data to sensor nodes only if they are interested; has three types of messages, i.e., ADV, REQ,and DATA
5.SAR
Creates multiple trees where the root of each tree is one hop neighbor from the sink; select a tree for data to be routed back to the sink according to the energy resources and additive QoS metric
6.LEACH
Forms clusters to minimize energy dissipation
7.Directed diffusion
Sets up gradients for data to flow from source to sink during interest dissemination
