摘要：Unlike traditional routing schemes that route all traffic along the same path, multipath routing method split the traffic among severalpaths in order to ease congestion. It has been recognized by many that multipath routing can be fundamentally more efficient than the traditionalapproach of routing along single paths. Yet, in contrast to the single path routing approach, many research in the context of multipath routingfocused on heuristic methods. We demonstrate the significant advantage of optimal (or near optimal) solutions. Hence, we investigate multipathrouting. A wireless sensor network is a large collection of sensor nodes with limited power supply and constrained computational capability.Because of the restricted communication range and high density of sensor nodes, packet forwarding in sensor networks is usually performedthrough multi-hop data transmission. We present a comprehensive taxonomy on the existing multipath routing protocol called network codingbased multipath routing, which is especially designed for wireless sensor network and provide an enhancement to that algorithm that gives betterpacket delivery, packet delivery delay, less packet loss probability and network life time
