Geographic routing has been considered as an efficient, simple, and scalable routing protocol for wireless sensor networks since it exploits pure location information instead of global topology information to route data packets. Geographic routing requires the source nodes to be aware of the location of the sink nodes. How source nodes efficiently obtain the sink location information has been merely studied yet. In this paper, we propose a Sink Location Service via Inner Rectangular in Wireless Sensor Networks. A source node and a sink node send location queries and location announcement messages to specified direction respectively by geographic routing; thus, a sink location query path and a sink location announcement path is generated. The node located on a crossing point of these two paths informs the source node about the sink location information. Then the source node sends data to the sink node by geographic routing. The proposed scheme constructs a virtual restricted linear flooding zone inside the network to guarantee the existence of the crossing point. Simulation results show that proposed scheme is reliable and efficient than the existing protocols.
