A network coding based energy-efficient multi-path routing algorithm is presented for wireless sensor network. This algorithm, developed from the ReInForM routing algorithm, considers the data redundancy optimization and residual energy balance of node, which can prolong the network lifetime, balance the network energy consumption and reduce the energy consumption of global network to extreme extent in the wireless sensor network of uneven node energy. The simulation results show that this algorithm, compared with other sensor routing algorithm, may consume less energy under the same channel error rate and network scale, and balance more efficiently the network energy consumption as the network scale increases.
