Abstract

In this paper we propose a new routing protocol-MDPRP for mobile wireless sensor networks, which adopts Markov Decision Process to make the decision of best next hop to forward the messages. In this scheme, we mainly integrate trust, congestion and distance as the main judgment criterion of the next hop decision. We evaluate the protocol by simulations and the performance results are encouraging.
