Abstract :
End-to-end fairness in a sensor network ensures that data from each sensor has an equal (or weighted) chance to reach the sink. It eliminates the problem that data flows from sensors at some locations (close to the sink) obtain most network bandwidth, while flows from sensors at other locations (far away from the sink) are starved. Existing fairness solutions assume single-path routing, which reduces achievable throughput of the network. In this paper, we propose a multipath fairness solution (MFS) that achieves end-to-end fairness among competing flows through fully distributed operations. MFS is easy to implement, which is advantageous in a resource-scarce sensor network. More importantly, it achieves much higher network throughput and better fairness among the flows.
