RBCP-WSN: The Reliable Biderectional Control Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract

Abstract-This paper presents the Reliable Bidirectional Control Protocol (RBCP) protocol, which is a transport protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), focused on managing sensors' behaviour. It aims to be a utility for reliable control data transferring from source to destination unit in the network. Considering the related studies on transport protocols, which are mostly dedicated to a single-direction reliable data transport, RBCP is the answer for the lack of control mechanisms in WSNs based on bidirectional communication. The first part of this paper is focused on general presentation of the proposed solution. In the next part, evaluation of the idea and final functionality are discussed. It will finally show the results of undergone testing stage.

“…In this way, the coordinator node collects data from the joined sensor nodes and transmits them, by Wi-Fi connection, on the on-cloud framework, where they In Fig. 18 just an example of the temporal trends for a short time interval was displayed related to the physical quantities (environmental and soil moisture and temperature) acquired by a generic node (without any processing then performed by the software platform) and then delivered on a channel of the developed on-cloud platform through the coordinator node, so demonstrating the correct operation of data acquisition and transmission phases by the WSN [16][17][18].…”
