Abstract

Environmental monitoring is determined as one of the leading applications in wireless sensor networks. In this application, every sensor node transmits a flow of sensed data to the sink periodically. Energy consumption is considered as a significant factor associated with the restriction in design of these specific purpose networks. To this end, we want one of the major sources of energy consumption, i.e. the number of message transmissions to be reduced. In this class, delay is not of so much importance. The transport layer is responsible for reliable and end to end delivery of the data among the sensors through the links. Due to energy, computing and storage limitation of wireless sensor networks, the traditional transport protocols cannot be applied to sensor network directly and without modifications. In this layer, certain operations are applied on the entire network to make it reliable for the application layer and reduce unnecessary retransmissions.
