Abstract

The paper investigates the usefulness of multi-path routing to achieve lifetime improvements by load balancing and exploiting cross-layer information in wireless sensor networks. Performance gains in the order of 10-15 % could be achieved by altering path update rules of existing on-demand routing schemes. Problems encountered with concurrent traffic along interfering paths have been identified as a direct consequence of special MAC protocol properties.
