RELIABILITY ORIENTED TRANSPORT PROTOCOL IN WSN

Bejoy, B.J., Paramasivan, B. 01 June 2012 (has links)
Wireless Sensor Network consists of tens or thousands of sensor nodes scattered in a physical space and one or more Base stations or Sinks. Even thought developed for military applications now they find a wide variety of civilian applications also. Some of the applications are Target tracking, Animal monitoring, Vehicle monitoring. The need (or lack thereof) for reliability in a sensor network is firmly dependent upon the specific application the sensor network is used for. Some applications like re-tasking or reprogramming sensor nodes [upgrading software or algorithms, adding codes, scripts etc] over -the-air requires assured delivery of high-priority events to sinks. We believe that as the number of sensor network applications grows, there will be a need to build more powerful general-purpose hardware and software environments capable of reprogramming or retasking sensors to. / Wireless sensor network is a special form of wireless networks dedicated to surveillance and monitoring applications Reliability in wireless sensor network is application specific. The specific form of reliability might change from application to application. Our idea is to generate reliability based transport protocol that is customizable to meet the needs of emerging reliable data applications in sensor networks and is also adaptive when the nodes are mobile. In our approach, clusters are formed for minimizing energy dissipation. The nodes maintain a neighbor list to forward data and any changes in the local topology can trigger updates to a node’s neighbor list. If a node notices that its neighbor list has changed, it can spontaneously re-advertise all of its data thus providing reliable transport in mobility conditions also. Our approach has five phases-setup, relaying, relay initiated error recovery, selective status reporting and node supervising. Our simulation results prove that the proposed approach can outperform existing related techniques and is highly responsive to the various error and mobility conditions experienced in sensor networks.
