Method for establishing data transmission path and sensor network employing the same
First Claim
1. A method for establishing a data transmission path of a sink node applied to a network system that includes a plurality of nodes including the sink node, the method comprising:
- a) requesting nodes on a previously established data transmission path to give their adjacent node information;
b) receiving the adjacent node information;
c) retrieving adjacent nodes as the sink node moves; and
d) reestablishing the data transmission path through a result of the retrieval result and the adjacent node information.

Abstract
A sensor network system and method for establishing a data transmission path are is disclosed. The method for establishing a data transmission path of a sink node and the network system which includes a plurality of nodes including the sink node, includes a) requesting nodes on a previously established data transmission path to give their adjacent node information, b) receiving the adjacent node information, c) retrieving adjacent nodes as the sink node moves, and d) reestablishing the data transmission path through the result of retrieval and the adjacent node information. Since the data transmission path isreestablished without flooding, it is possible to reduce energy of the nodes. Also, the method for establishing a data transmission path can be applied to any routing protocols without additional conditions.

13. A network system, comprising:
-
a plurality of nodes in which one node is a sink node and a data transmission path is established to the sink node;
wherein,the sink node requests from nodes on the established data transmission path to give their adjacent node information, the sink node receives the adjacent node information, the sink node retrieves adjacent node information as the sink node moves, and the data transmission path is reestablished through a result of the retrieval result and the adjacent node information. - View Dependent Claims (14)
