"A Survey on Transmission Reliability in Wireless Sensor Networks"

Mr. Hoi Lun Ngan


Abstract:

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are soon to be integrated into our daily
life applications. Compared with the Internet model, the data delivery
mechanisms and models in WSNs are different. With many sensor nodes
connected together to form a networked application, how reliable their
data communication could be? In this survey, we will ana-lyze the
necessity of reliable communication in WSNs and the factors which affect
the provision of such services. In particular, application-specific and
data-centric requirements will be examined. A model of transmission
reliability based on existing research will be summarized to aid
differentiating various reliability requirements. General and selected
cross-layer design techniques will be presented.
