Abstract:<p>Ensuring reliable transport of data in resource-constrained Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is one of the primary concerns to achieve a high degree of efficiency in monitoring and control systems. The two reliability mechanisms typically used in WSNs are packet reliability and event reliability. Packet reliability, which requires all packets from all the sensor nodes to reach the sink, can result in wastage of the sensors' limited energy resources. Event reliability, which only requires that one packe… Show more
