Efficient path finding algorithm for transmission of data in agricultural field using wireless sensor network

Abstract

Transmission of data from the source to the sink requires an efficient path so that the network life is enhanced. Longer shelf life for battery is essential when it is difficult to replace the battery too often as in agricultural field. To achieve this, in this paper we have proposed an algorithm to find the efficient path between the sink (base station) and the source so that the network can be alive for one cropping season. © 2013 Springer-Verlag.
