We propose a mixed-strategy of direct transmission and multi-hop propagation of data which improves the lifespan of WSNs by reaching better energy-load-balancing amongst sensor nodes.4 pages, 2 figuresDistributed, Parallel, and Cluster ComputingC.2.1Gradient Based Routing in Wireless Sensor Networks: a Mixed Strategytext
