“…As a result, the network's reliability and scalability are limited because the data collected by nodes located many hops away from the sink barely reach their destination [22,23]. While some previous works have analyzed the reliability of LWSNs in terms of failure, location, or coverage of the nodes [21,24,25], our focus is on improving the network's reliability and scalability by modifying the MAC protocol, assuming that the nodes are active, and providing proper coverage. In this sense, our proposal is complementary to such works.…”

The reliability and scalability of Linear Wireless Sensor Networks (LWSNs) are limited by the high packet loss probabilities (PLP) experienced by the packets generated at nodes far from the sink node. This is an important limitation in Smart City applications, where timely data collection is critical for decision making. Unfortunately, previous works have not addressed this problem and have only focused on improving the network’s overall performance. In this work, we propose a Distance-Based Queuing (DBQ) scheme that can be incorporated into MAC protocols for LWSNs to improve reliability and scalability without requiring extra local processing or additional signaling at the nodes. The DBQ scheme prioritizes the transmission of relay packets based on their hop distance to the sink node, ensuring that all packets experience the same PLP. To evaluate the effectiveness of our proposal, we developed an analytical model and conducted extensive discrete-event simulations. Our numerical results demonstrate that the DBQ scheme significantly improves the reliability and scalability of the network by achieving the same average PLP and throughput for all nodes, regardless of traffic intensities and network sizes.
