CERT: Clustering based Energy efficient routing algorithm for improving the Reliability and realizing the Timeliness in wireless sensor networks

The routing algorithms that are used from Multi-path mechanism is favorite alternative forwireless sensor networks, as it provides an easy mechanism to distribute traffic and balancenetwork’s load, as well as considerate fault tolerance. Most of the existing multi path routingalgorithms considers the timeliness or reliability separately to send the data. In this paper, a newmulti path routing protocol namely CERT is proposed, which guarantees achieve to requiredQoS as well as timeliness in wireless sensor networks and can balances the energy consumptionwith using the new clustering mechanism. Proposed protocol has better performance than theEQSR in comparison criteria.
