13 11 Most data collection routing protocols in wireless sensor networks adopt periodic routing maintenance mechanism. The mechanism is not energy efficient for environment monitoring deployments. Sometimes, the energy dissipation for routing maintenance is more than the sensing data transmission. This study proposes a passive maintenance routing protocol for wireless sensor networks. The protocol estimates the communication link quality by monitoring the retransmission of collection data packets and its routing maintenance is triggered when the poor link quality is detected. The routing protocol is implemented in TinyOS system and evaluated through simulations.
