Abstract :
Regular wireless sensor networks gain more and more attention because they can help to save energy and achieve longer network lifetime. In this paper, the popular hexagonal sensor network is focused and some new energy efficient routing algorithms are proposed based on a new addressing scheme. Performance of the new algorithms is compared by simulation. The results show the tree based routing algorithm achieves the best performance since it can distribute the traffic more evenly in the whole networks.
