Abstract

We study tree-based routing protocols for wireless sensor networks. The existing tree-based algorithm has a few shortcomings; (1) it may take a long path since sensor node must transmit packets via either its parent or its children nodes and (2) it is vulnerable to a link failure since the tree has to be reconstructed in case of a single link failure. We propose Plus-Tree, a routing protocol, which overcomes the shortcomings and improves the performance of the existing protocol. A node in Plus-Tree may have neighbor links other than tree links that can be used for alternative path. Simulation results show that Plus-Tree performs better than the existing tree-based protocol with respect to hop counts.
