Advances in microelectronics and communications enable inexpensive sensors to be deployed on a large scale and in harsh environments, where sensors need to operate unattended in an autonomous manner. As sensor nodes communicate over error-prone wireless channels with battery power, reliable and energy-ecient data delivery is crucial. ese characteristics of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) make the design of routing protocols challenging [1].
