Wide research in the field of Wireless sensor network (WSN) made it applicable into various domain of organization, health, home appliances and many more. WSN has various issues in transporting data from one node to another. Reliability is considered to be one of the important requirements of WSN. Reliability concerns with the loss of data, retransmission of data, connection of links, energy consumption etc. So reliable transmissions of data from source to destination either node-node or node-sink is a challenging task. To meet Quality of service (QoS), congestion free and reliability is mandatory. Some protocols consider congestion in the network only while some consider reliability only and some consider both congestion and reliability in the network. In this survey we considered various reliable transport protocols for WSN in which few consider congestion control too.
