Abstract

Due to the contradiction between overwhelming traffic and limited bandwidth, congestion is one of the most challenges in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). In this paper, based on network coding and cross-layer optimization, we propose a reliable transmission control scheme to avoid congestion. Our scheme uses network coding to improve the reliability and robustness of system, and applies cross-layer design for suitable rate assignment. Our simulation results and analysis show that our scheme can achieve good performance in terms of reliability and throughput.
