Grid-based multi-path with congestion avoidance routing (GMCAR) protocol for wireless sensor networks

A new routing protocol that handles real-time and non-real time applications in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is proposed. We employ the idea of dividing the sensor network field into grids. Inside each grid, one of the sensor nodes is selected as a master node which is responsible for delivering the data generated by any node in that grid and for routing the data received from other master nodes in the neighbor grids.
