A mutlipath routing algorithm for wireless sensor networks under distance and energy consumption constraints for reliable data transmission

Abstract

Many applications of wireless sensor networks are critical such as, medical, crisis management, environmental, military, transportation, emergency, security applications. These applications require reliable data collection and achievement. Researchers have been investigated in this area proposing many techniques for WSN reliability meet, such as redundancy or retransmission mechanisms or multipaths routing protocols, some of these techniques dont care about the WSN limitation resources such as energy consumption. In this paper we propose a multi-path routing algorithm for WSN for reliability data transmission, considering distance and energy consumption constraints.
