A Fast Resilient Routing Protocol with Energy Efficiency for Wireless Sensor Networks

Generally, single path routing is simple and consumes less energy than multi-path routing, but it will cost a lot to re-delivery when the data delivery fails. However, multi-path routing supports high delivery ratio and load balancing, but its traffic is very high and the redundant traffic is burden to the whole networks. In this paper, we introduce a novel routing scheme for wireless sensor networks, so called, the highly energy aware resilient routing scheme (HEAR). Our scheme establishes partial disjoint multi-paths to support high robustness and energy efficiency.
