Reservation Based Reliability Control in Wireless Sensor Networks

This paper presents a reservation based reliability control protocol for wireless sensor networks having the applications that demand in-order and 100% delivery of the generated packets. Unlike earlier works the proposed reliability control avoids channel contention and collision problem during retransmission, and ensures guaranteed packet delivery. Moreover, the reservation based retransmission can ensure the maximum achievable channel capacity at each hop taking the interference into account. The performances are measured through extensive simulations which establish the efficiency of proposed work in terms of delivery ratio and delay.
