Abstract
Wireless sensor networks determine probable in military, environments, health and commercial
applications. The process of transferring of information from a remote sensor node to other nodes in a
network holds importance for such applications. Various constraints such as limited computation, storage
and power makes the process of transferring of information routing interesting and has opened new arenas
for researchers. The fundamental problem in sensor networks states the significance and routing of
information through a real path as path length decides some basic performance parameters for sensor
networks. This paper strongly focuses on a shortest path algorithm for wireless adhoc networks. The
simulations are performed on NS2 and the results obtained discuss the role of transferring of information
through a shortest path.
