Abstract

This paper presents two energy-aware, load balancedrouting schemes, called as maximum capacity path (MCP)scheme and MCP with path switching (MCP-PS) scheme,for sensor networks. In the MCP scheme, the sensornetwork is constructed into a layered network at first.Based on the layered network, every sensor node selects ashortest path with maximum capacity to sink. In MCP-PS,the node may switch its routing path to its sibling neighborsin order to share the traffic. The simulation results showthat our MCP and MCP-PS schemes can achieve a betterload-sharing and better endurance on network lifetime.
