Resilient Multi Sink Networks Using Simplistic Hop Based Routing

In this paper, we demonstrate the use of a simplistic time based routing protocol called Simple Resilient Multi-hop Routing (SRMR) for a multi sink wireless sensor network (WSN). SRMR will allow the network to maximize efficiency by using a combination of performance metrics. For this simulation we will use the approximate distance measure based upon travel time of messages between sensor nodes. With multi sink architecture, we show efficient routing of data from the network to the closest sink based upon the selected metric. In doing so, we will be able to allow the network to become more resilient to network isolation, excess energy usage, and suboptimal throughput.
