A Faster Routing Scheme for Stationary Wireless Sensor Networks - A Hybrid Approach

A wireless sensor network consists of light-weight, low power, small size sensor nodes. Routing inwireless sensor networks is a demanding task. This demand has led to a number of routing protocolswhich efficiently utilize the limited resources available at the sensor nodes. Most of these protocols areeither based on single hop routing or multi hop routing and typically find the minimum energy pathwithout addressing other issues such as time delay in delivering a packet, load balancing, andredundancy of data. Response time is very critical in environment monitoring sensor networks wheretypically the sensors are stationary and transmit data to a base station or a sink node. In this paper afaster load balancing routing protocol based on location with a hybrid approach is proposed
