Network Coding has attracted significant attention in Wireless Sensor Networks(WSNs) in recent years. And most work focuses on unicast, multicast and broadcast. But convergecast is the most common communication style in WSNs and the study about it is still very few. In order to study the benefit of network coding in convergecast, we put forward a Full-CSnmodel which is new to CSnmodel that put forward by Tang et al. We derive the advantage of using linear network coding, and the simulation validates the theoretical analyses. We compare the performance of Full-CSnwith CSnmode. The results show that Full-CSnis more universal, more applicable, and can obtain more benefits of reliability.
