Abstract
Wireless sensor networks have been the de-facto standard for modern and intelligent sensing in Military applications such as monitoring power systems (viz., solar power) and tactical communications. Efficient and successful data gathering is mandatory requirement in such mission critical applications. Robust network architecture and a new communication protocol are required to achieve it. We propose a multisink WSN with intrinsic and linear programmable load balanced data-gathering protocol implemented in the statically distributed special nodes or advanced nodes. The special nodes links to multiple sink by analyzing the existing route path, its congestion ratio, load factor, least cost route, delivery ratio, energy constraints etc. Simulation and experimental analysis shows that our approach increases the load balancing factor and network lifetime. It also predicts the better way of gathering the mission critical data by applying a fast computation mechanism and lower overheads. The key factors such as communication latency, transmission overhead, packet replication and delivery rate were analyzed and their results were compared with known protocols and methods.
