Minimum hops based routing algorithm in wireless sensor networks

The minimum hops routing algorithm is widely used because its guarantee of smallest number information packets in the wireless sensor networks.However,the algorithm can not solve the implosion phenomenon and energy consumption issue well.This paper presents a new improved algorithm by introducing the concept of meta data,delay transmitting and setting a threshold energy value for every node.The simulation experiment indicates that the improved algorithm saves energy,resolves the problem of implosion and prolongs the life of the sensor networks.
