In this paper, we propose a new routing scheme based on multi-path routing which provides uniform energy consumption for all nodes. This scheme adds a new type of root node for constructing multi-path. The sink node delegates some partial roles to these root nodes. Such root nodes carry out path establishment independently. As a result, each nodes consume energy more uniformly and the network life-time will be extended. Through simulation, we confirmed that energy consumption of the whole network is scattered and the network life-time is extended. Moreover, we show that the proposed routing scheme improves the performance of network compared to previous routing strategies as the number of source nodes increases.
