Transport layer protocols of Wireless sensor networks, plays an important role in the achievement of high performance and the long life time of the network.This layer is specifically needed when a system is organized to access other networks.Two functions provided by this layer are; reliability and the congestion control.Many numbers of protocols are designed to achieve these two functions.This paper gives you a review of reliable transport layer protocols and congestion control transport layer protocols.First, it gives an introduction to the wireless sensor networks.Second, gives an idea about the various services provided by transport layer and the disadvantages of using traditional TCP (Transport control protocol) and UDP (User datagram protocol) of transport layer.Third are some existing transport layer protocols.Further is the conclusion of this review.
