Wireless Sensor Network Routing Based on Sensors Grouping

摘要

Due to the limited communication range of WSN, the sensor is unable to establish direct connection to the data collection station, therefore the collaborative work of nodes is highly necessary. The data routing is one of the most fundamental processes exploring how to transmit data from the sensing field to the data collection station via the least possible number of intermediate nodes. This paper addresses the problem of data routing based on the sensors grouping; it provides a deep insight on how to divide the sensors of a network into separate independent groups, and how to organize these independent groups in order to make them work collaboratively and accomplish the process of data routing within the network.
