A Novel Multipath Disjoint Routing to Support Ad Hoc Wireless Sensor Networks
Ren Xiu-li, Haibin Yu · 2006
Ad hoc wireless sensor networks have the potential to become a major component of the information technology space due to the characteristics of sensor devices links and communications. The existing protocols for the traditional ad hoc networks affect the performance of the system in wireless sensor network. In this paper, multipath disjoint (MPD) routing algorithm is proposed. We compare MPD with two on-demand protocols such as DSR and AODK The simulation results show that MPD improves the packet delivery ratio and throughput, saves power and reduces delay. As a result MPD releases the network congestion quite well. The system does not bring breakdown because of the routing failure.
