Chonggang Wang, Kazem Sohraby, Bo Li, Mahmoud Daneshmand, Yueming Hu · IEEE Network · 2006
In this article we present a survey of transport protocols for wireless sensor networks (WSNs). We first highlight several unique aspects of WSNs, and describe the basic design criteria and challenges of transport protocols, including energy-efficiency, quality of service, reliability, and congestion control. We then provide a summary and comparison of existing transport protocols for WSNs. Finally, we discuss several open research problems.
