A Secure Routing Method on Wireless Mesh Sensor Networks (WMSNs)

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are based on the random deployment of a large number of tiny sensor nodes and actuators into or very close to the phenomenon to be observed. These networks face with several essential challenges; for example, power consumption and secure routing are critical problems in the wireless sensor networks. To reduce power consumption, this paper proposes an efficient architecture with optimal power management for WSNs. This architecture merges wireless sensor network into wireless mesh networks. The other aspect considered in this paper is the secure routing in the new scheme of wireless mesh sensor network. This paper presents a secure routing algorithm for the proposed wireless mesh sensor network.
