Wireless sensor networks discover 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.
