Gradient Based Routing in Wireless Sensor Networks: a Mixed Strategy

We show how recent theoretical advances from [11, 4, 8, 9] for data-propagation in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) can be combined to improve gradient-based routing (GBR) in Wireless Sensor Networks. We propose a mixedstrategy of direct transmission and multi-hop propagation of data which improves the lifespan of WSNs by reaching better energy-loadbalancing amongst sensor nodes. [10].
