Author [paper]	Year	Characteristics features	Suitability for WMSN	Performance metrics	Type of network	Energy efficiency	Network lifetime	Performance results
Karp and Kung [27]	2000	Location based	No	Shortest path	Homogeneous	No	Low	Outperforms DSR [26]
Chen et al. [93]	2007	Location based	High	Delay, RE, and RBW	Homogeneous	Medium	Medium	Outperforms GPSR [27]
Shu and Hauswirth [59]	2008	Location based	Low	Shortest path	Homogeneous	Low	Medium	Outperforms GPSR [27] and less throughput
Medjiah et al. [94]	2009	Location based	Low	Shortest path, RE	Homogeneous	Medium	Medium	Outperforms GPSR [27]
Bennis et al. [95]	2013	Location based	High	Shortest path, RE	Homogeneous	High	Medium	Outperforms TPGF [59]
Wang et al. [96]	2015	Location based	High	Delay, RE, and AHC	Homogeneous	High	Medium	Outperforms DGR [93]

RE: residual energy, RBW: residual bandwidth, and AHC: average hop-count.
