Abstract

Due to limited functionalities and potentially large number of sensors, conventional routing strategies proposed for distributed control applications (such as mobile ad hoc networks) are not directly applicable in wireless sensor networks. In this paper, we propose a novel mesh multipath routing (M-MPR) with selective forwarding of packets. Our evaluation shows that M-MPR achieves much improved throughput performance over conventional disjoint multipath routing, with comparable power consumption and receiver complexity. We also show that for comparable throughput, M-MPR achieves better load distribution and requires lesser route maintenance overhead with respect to packet forwarding along a preferred route.
