An algorithm for route selection on multi-sink wireless sensor network using fuzzy logic

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a new algorithm for route selection on Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) which allows communication between sensor nodes and multiple sinks. For that, the sensor nodes use a fuzzy inference machine in order to select the most appropriate sink. This inference will take into account some network characteristics such as: energy, number of hops, collisions, and delay. Simulations have shown that our algorithm is feasible not only in terms of routes selection, but also in terms of energy consumption. © Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2010.
