Distributed TCP Caching for Wireless Sensor Networks

چکیده
Many applications of wireless sensor networks are useful only when connected to an external network. Previous research on transport layer protocols for sensor networks has focused on designing protocols specifically targeted for sensor networks. The deployment of TCP/IP in sensor networks would, however, enable direct connection between the sensor network and external TCP/IP networks. In this paper we focus on the performance of TCP in the context of wireless sensor networks. TCP is known to exhibit poor performance in wireless environments, both in terms of throughput and energy efficiency. To overcome these problems we introduce a mechanism called Distributed TCP Caching (DTC). The DTC mechanism uses segment caching and local retransmissions to avoid expensive end-to-end retransmissions. We show by simulation that DTC significantly improves TCP performance so that TCP can be useful even in wireless sensor networks.

Design and evaluation of two distributed methods for sensors placement in Wireless Sensor Networks
Adequate coverage is one of the main problems for distributed wireless sensor networks and The effectiveness of that highly depends on the sensor deployment scheme. Given a finite number of sensors, optimizing the sensor deployment will provide sufficient sensor coverage and save power of sensors for movement to target location to adequate coverage. In this paper, we apply fuzzy logic system to...
متن کاملReliability in Distributed TCP Caching
Distributed TCP Caching (DTC) substantially improves TCP performance in wireless sensor networks. We study DTC performance gains with two link layer error control mechanisms, namely link layer retransmissions and forward error control. Our results suggest that applying forward error correction to TCP acknowledgements is the best choice for our ongoing real implementation of DTC.

The TCP/IP protocol suite, which has proven itself highly successful in wired networks, is often claimed to be unsuited for wireless micro-sensor networks. In this work, we question this conventional wisdom and present a number of mechanisms that are intended to enable the use of TCP/IP for wireless sensor networks: spatial IP address assignment, shared context header compression, application o...

Detecting anomalies is an important challenge for intrusion detection and fault diagnosis in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). To address the problem of outlier detection in wireless sensor networks, in this paper we present a PCA-based centralized approach and a DPCA-based distributed energy-efficient approach for detecting outliers in sensed data in a WSN. The outliers in sensed data can be ca...
