Abstract

As sensor network is drawing more attention than ever before due to the development of sensors and the technology of communications, various routing-algorithms, to realize a sensor node with low-power and a miniature size, is being introduced in the field. This paper is to discuss a way to find an optimal path by changing a routing- algorithm adequately according to environmental changes. This is also to suggest an appropriate sensor network model in the ubiquitous aera. The result from the experiment that we conducted showed us that as we suggested, an algorithm, changing and adapting itself to each different environment, operated more stably and transmitted data more effectively than the current fixed one. And it was also confirmed that this type of algorithm can provide low-power management, which is very important in sensor network.
