Abstract
It has been occurred many times that wireless sensor networks (WSNs) had congested areas because all the sensing data collected by multiple sensor nodes are delivered to one sink node. Typically, in order to control congested areas, it used to reduce the traffic by increasing the sensing period or discarding packets. However, those schemes have a disadvantage that it loses the reliability when delivering sensing data. Moreover, there are no schemes considering case of having poor quality of links between nodes in practical terms. In this paper, we suggest a scheme not to reduce the traffic but to distribute the traffic by changing routing paths depends on the traffic and the quality of links. Also, it can be seen that the reliability of delivering of the sensing data is improved with the experiments improving collection rates and shortening end-to-end delay.
