Abstract

Linear wireless Sensor networks (LWSNs) are extensively utilized to monitor linear infrastructure such as railways, bridges, mines, and borders. In the large-scale deployment of sensor networks, extending network life and improving network energy balance remains a significant challenge. The existing routing protocols adopt the path planning method based on the routing information database, which can effectively transmit data packets. However, the methods consume additional energy when establishing and maintaining routing tables, significantly reducing the nodes’ lifespan and leading to unstable data transmission quality. This paper proposes a dynamic random multipath routing method (DRMRM) for LWSNs. The technique combines the node depth and residual energy models to select the optimal next-hop relay node without relying on the transmission routing table. At the same time, we designed a data loss retransmission mechanism and a data loop retreat mechanism to prevent data packets from reaching a dead end. The experimental results demonstrate that our routing method is superior to existing energy consumption balance and network lifespan protocols.
