Adaptive Routing Algorithm for Offshore Oil Spill Wireless Sensor Networks

Development of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) can serve many civil and military applications where information gathering, processing and monitoring is required. Design of efficient routing protocol is very critical in WSN. In many applications, network structure is unknown and even unpredictable in some situations. Nodes are deployed in a geographical area randomly without considering the location factor. Hence a dynamic routing strategy is needed to overcome these issues to render efficient flow of information.
