Abstract

Multi-path strategy is one of the favorable choices to transmit data efficiently and flexibly in sensor networks. Due to various applications, it is hard to devise a generic WSN routing strategy to meet all requirements of various applications and environments at the same time. Therefore, a novel routing strategy should provide flexible schemes which adjusts forwarding schemes dynamically according to the different requirements. In this paper, we proposed an adaptive multi-path routing algorithm (AMPRA), which could provide convenient client-interface for flexible switching between various routing strategies. Through studying the local minimum phenomenon, a new method Clockwise-Rule is proposed to overcome the local minimum phenomenon. Based on the Clockwise-Rule, AMPRA provides flexible transmission schemes. Simulations show that AMPRA can significantly improve the performance of networks.
