A Routing Protocol Based on Multi-Path Data Aggregation for Sensor Networks

In this paper, we propose a routing protocol based on multi-path data aggregation (MDA) for sensor network. First, we introduce the techniques, such as data aggregation and so on, then describe the implementation process of this protocol, and finally estimate its performance by our emulator. The simulation results show that because of this protocol, the nodes energy is reduced and the lifetime of network is extended.
