Abstract

Dynamics of wireless communication, resource constraints, and application diversity pose significant challenges to data transport control in wireless sensor networks. In this chapter, we examine the issue of data transport control in the context of two typical communication patterns in wireless sensor networks: convergecast and broadcast. We study the similarity and differences of data transport control in convergecast and broadcast; we discuss existing convergecast and broadcast protocols, and we present open issues for data transport control in wireless sensor networks.

Notes

  1. 1.

    This is not the case in wireline networks and is due to the nature of wireless communications.

  2. 2.

    Note that SWIA is a special type of block acknowledgment where the window size is 1.
