N2 - Routing data messages in a wireless sensor network is different from traditional networks because sensors do not have a unique IP address, knowledge of the network topology or routers and routing tables. Also, the limited power resource places restrictions on the number of messages sent and received within a network. The purpose of this article is to develop an algorithm based on small world networks, to route sensor data to the nearest sink node. A wireless sensor network, with optimally placed sink nodes, does lead to efficient routing of data between nodes while preserving battery lifetime.
