In Wireless Sensor Network (WSN), disjoint multipath routing can lead to the long-path problem, and braided multipath routing can lead to the weakening of fault-tolerant performance. To address these issues, a multipath braided model and a fault-tolerant routing scheme based upon the model were proposed. Firstly, the intersection of multiple paths were quantified from the source to the destination by establishing corresponding multipath braided model, and then a probability model of fault tolerance was proposed to build the relationship between path interactivity and fault tolerance. Secondly, a fault-tolerant routing scheme was designed based on local intersection adjustment. Experimental results show that, when using the proposed model and its scheme in typical multipath routing schemes—Sequential Assignment Routing (SAR) and Energy Efficient Fault-tolerant Multipath Routing (EEFTMR), the data transfer success rate can be improved effectively. In addition, it also has good performance in the network throughput and energy consumption.
