SENSOR NETWORK CONTROL METHOD FOR DATA PATH ESTABLISHMENT AND RECOVERY AND SENSOR NETWORK THEREFOR

Disclosed herein are a sensor network control method for data path establishment and recovery and a sensor network therefor. The sensor network control method includes the steps of (a) the sink node or a first sensor node creating an interest message, including information about a hop count between itself and the sink node, and transmitting the interest message to one or more neighboring nodes; (b) a second sensor node, which has received the interest message, creating a routing table using the hop count information of the interest message and information about the node having transmitted the interest message, (c) the second sensor node determining a data transmission path for data transmission to the sink node using the routing table; and (d) the second sensor node transmitting an interest message, including information about a hop count between itself and the sink node to at least one neighboring node.
