A Multiple Aggregative Path Scheme for Optimal communication in WSN

Abstract: One of the major challenges for any network is the effective routing to perform reliable communication over the network. This challenge becomes more critical for sensor network where each node is having the limited energy. To provide the reliable communication a distance and energy based optimal path is selected by most of the authors. But if the communication is performed regularly over such path, the energy of all intermediate nodes will be degraded and it will disturb the energy balance over the network. To provide balanced energy consumption, a multiple path multiple aggregative approach is suggested. In this approach, a corner based partition scheme is implemented. Number of dead nodes after a fixed number of rounds is very less as compared to existing approaches.
