APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR ROUTING PATH SETTING IN SENSOR NETWORK

摘要

A method of setting a route for effective data transmission in a sensor network including a movable sink node and a plurality of sensor nodes which collect data requested by the movable sink node, the method including: transmitting an agent requesting message from the movable sink node to the sensor nodes; receiving a first agent acceptance message from a first sensor node of the sensor nodes; and selecting, as an agent node, the first sensor node. By using the sensor nodes which are static, the number of data transmission can be saved, thereby reducing power consumption in the respective sensor nodes and also preventing retardation of data transmission.
