An Enhancement of AODV routing protocol for more robust wireless sensor network

As more and more real Wireless Sensor Network’s (WSN) applications have been tested and deployed over the last decade, the research community of WSN realizes that several issues need to be revisited from practical angles, such as reliability and availability. Furthermore, f...

Basically, wireless sensor networks suffer from resource limitations, high failure rates and faults caused by the defective nature of wireless communication and the wireless sensor itself.
