Abstract
Wireless sensor networks(WSN) are a kind of communication networks with in-dependent sensor nodes which could construct multi-hop ad hoc network to trans-fer data. The transport protocols for Wireless Sensor Network play an important role to promote the performance of the whole systems. This paper proposes a modified transport layer protocol for heterogeneous Wireless Sensor Networks(HWSN). As TCP is not suitable to use in HWSN directly, we design a modified transport protocol(named mTCP) based on TCP by a six-state finite state machine. Experimental results illustrate that our design can improve the communication capability of the transmission layer in heterogeneous wireless sensor networks significantly.
