Abstract :
In this paper, we propose a grid-based directed diffusion (GDD) to save the energy of nodes in wireless sensor networks. Based on virtual grids which are set up according to routing fidelity, small clusters are formed. In GDD, the flooding of sensed data is limited in .clusters, which can save energy and decrease delay.
