Abstract

Provided are a sensor node of a low power for a monitoring application in a mesh sensor network using a time division access scheme, and a routing method thereof. The routing method of the sensor node may include: transmitting a beacon containing routing information to neighboring nodes in a first time slot within a first beacon interval that is allocated to the sensor node; and receiving a beacon from each of the neighboring nodes in a second time slot within a second beacon interval that is allocated to each of the neighboring nodes.
