A position-based routing method by using a cell in a wireless sensor network is provided to minimize the energy and to determine a path until a destination node easily by reducing the periodical communication for the position information confirmation. In a next-hop position calculation process, the virtual ONI(Optimal Next-hop Information) among the paths until the destination node is calculated. In a communication area division process(302), the communication area is divided into fixed cell sizes by using the calculated virtual ONI position. In a packet broadcasting process(303), a packet including the virtual ONI position and the cell sizes is broadcasted to the surrounding node in the communication area. In a next-hop node decision process(305), the firstly transmitted surrounding node is determined as the next-hop node after receiving a response message in regard to the broadcasted packet from the surrounding node. In the next-hop position calculation process, the position joined by the virtual segment for connecting the distance until the destination node and a virtual circle corresponding to one's own communication area is calculated and the calculating result is determined as the next hop position. |
