This paper proposes a Real-Time Link Reliability Routing protocol for wireless sensor networks (WSNs). The protocol achieves to reduce packet deadline miss ratio while considering link reliability, two-hop velocity and power efficiency and utilizes memory and computational effective methods for estimating the link metrics. Numerical results provide insights that the protocol has a lower packet deadline miss ratio and improved sensor network lifetime. The results show that the proposed protocol is a feasible solution to the QoS routing problem in wireless sensor networks that support real-time applications.
