A Scale-Free Routing Algorithm in Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract

A scale-free routing protocol and algorithm in wireless sensor networks are studied in this paper. The algorithm could be used to form a WSN with a scale-free-network-like topology which helps shorten the length of the routing path. Together with the information fusion function involved in the scale-free routing protocol, the algorithm could dramatically reduce the redundancies of the datagram transferred in the WSN and thus improve the life cycle of WSN.
