Providing reliable communication represents one of the major barriers to wireless sensor networks. In this paper, we propose a fault-tolerant tableless routing protocol called E-cube+, inspired from e-cube routing protocol, to support intelligent rerouting. A range of fault-tolerant routing properties of E-cube+ (such as loop-freeness, failure recovery guarantees, and bounded latency) have been derived and analyzed. Experiment results also show that E-cube+ is able to route data properly without complicated and energy-intensive routing table lookup processes even when node failures occur.
