Wireless sensor networks are ad hoc networks with severe resource constraints. These constraints preclude the use of traditional ad hoc protocols, and demand optimizations that incur in solutions specific to a class of applications. This article presents PROC, a protocol designed for continuous data dissemination networks, that interacts with the application to stablish routes. This mechanism allows the application to reconfigure PROC on runtime. A performance evaluation in topologies varying from 50 to 200 nodes showed that PROC increases network lifetime around 7% to 12%, and has higher through-put than EAD and TinyOS Beaconing. Furthermore, PROC presents a softer performance degradation when the number of nodes in the network increases.
