Dynamic and Efficient Routing Algorithm for Multi-Sink Wireless Sensor Networks

Geetavani.B, P Kokila

Sensor networks are dense wireless networks where information is gathered by sensor elements spread out in an interest area. Wireless sensors applications cover large fields such as surveillance and security, target tracking, agriculture, health and military purposes. As wireless sensor network protocols are application specific. The three main categories explored are data-centric, hierarchical and location-based. Each of the routing schemes and algorithms has the common objective of trying to get better throughput and to extend the lifetime of the sensor network. The key objective of the proposed mechanism is to achieve traffic-balancing by detecting the congested areas along the route and distributing the packets along the paths that have idle and under loaded nodes.
