Prediction of Percentage Data Packet Loss Based Multipath Transmission of Wireless Sensor Networks

Depending on the operational environment of wireless sensor networks, data packet loss happens when parameters changing of net. This paper presents a method to predict the percentage of data packet loss (DPL) by artificial neural networks. The percentage of DPL is presented as the path selecting probability of transmission path to achieving reliable multipath transmission. By comparing with the FEC coding multi-path transmission strategy, this method is proved to present satisfactory simulation result.
