Network Coding-based Maximum Lifetime Algorithm for Sliding Window in WSNs

Abstract

Network coding (NC) is a promising technology that can improve available bandwidth and packet throughput in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Sliding window is an improved technology of NC, which is a supplement of TCP/IP technology and can improve data throughput and network lifetime on WSNs. This paper proposes a network coding-based maximum lifetime algorithm for sliding window in WSNs (NC-MLSW) which improves the throughput and network lifetime in WSN. The packets on the source node are sent on the WSNs. The intermediate node encodes the received original packet and forwards the newly encoded packet to the next node. Finally, the destination node decodes the received encoded data packet and recovers the original packet. The performance of the NC-MLSW algorithm is studied using NS2 simulation software and the network packet throughput, network lifetime and data packet loss rate were evaluated. The simulations experiment results show that the NC-MLSW algorithm can obviously improve the network packet throughput and network lifetime.

Graph Kernel Based Clustering Algorithm in MANETs

“…A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is an Internet made up of mobile nodes that are not supported by any base stations or infrastructure. Due to rapid development, it has been widely used in many fields such as military and civil [1][2][3]. In MANET, the nodes are mobile and the links are wireless.…”

“…However, the network has many limitations, which include the transmission capacity of nodes, bandwidth, limited energy, unpredictable node connections, and many others. In order to maximize the data transmission capacity of MANET and prolong its lifetime, it is necessary to select the optimal routing and the node with the best performance for data processing and transmission [1][2][3].…”
