Abstract
Provided is a session-based broadcasting method that may transmit a message packet from a source node to a plurality of destination nodes out of a radio coverage, in a wireless network including a plurality of sensor nodes and active radio frequency identification (RFID) devices, and more particularly, an apparatus and method for multi-hop routing decision and looping prevention that may (1) determine a scope of multi-hop routing for receiving a response packet from a destination node within a predetermined session open duration, and (2) prevent a looping phenomenon in which nodes continuously receive and re-transmit message packets, due to a characteristic of a broadcasting communication scheme through which all users may receive message packets.
