Abstract

A wireless sensor network consists of one or more hubs and lots of sensors. Sensors have capability of sensing, wireless communication and data processing. Therefore, how to extend the network lifetime is an important issue. In this paper, we propose a routing protocol which uses the water flow idea and allocates the loading based on the lowest energy in the paths. Our simulation result shows that the approach can extend the lifetime efficiently.
