A mesh-based routing protocol for wireless ad- sensor networks

Routing algorithms in wireless sensor networks have attracted much attention during recent years. Due to the limited resources of each sensor node, e.g. limited power supply and limited communication bandwidth, routing algorithm in such networks will be complex and affect the system performance and its lifetime. In this paper the area, which sensor laid out, is partitioned into some regions. Each region, which contains some sensors, is considered as a node of a Mesh. The nodes can communicate to their neighbor nodes through a number of virtual channels. Each virtual channel formed by connecting two sensors to adjacent regions that are located in Radio-range of each other. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm (MBR) can be used to optimize the use of the network resources and reduce the power consumption of the network.
