Adaptive Redundancy-Based Transport Layer Protocol For Wireless Sensor Networks

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are built upon tens to thousands of sensor nodes that are dispersed across a geographical area. Most of the sensor nodes have limited on-board resources, such as limited computing capabilities and limited power. All these issues can reduce the reliability of the senso...
