FlushMF: A Transport Protocol Using Multiple Frequencies for Wireless Sensor Network
Rodrigo C. Tavares, Marcos A. M. Vieira, Luiz F. M. Vieira · 2016
Many applications of sensor networks collect massive data in a coordinated approach, such as monitoring volcanoes, oceans and forests. We propose, therefore, two protocols at the network stack to enable multiple frequency communication. MultiFCTP extends the state-of-the-art CTP to route packets using multiples frequencies. FlushMF is a transport protocol that extends Flush by supporting multiple frequencies. FlushMF is a reliable transport protocol and high throughput for massive data. FlushMF provides end-to-end acknowledgment, reduces the transfer time, and adapts to network conditions that vary in time. A network system that uses multiple frequencies can be more robust to interference and achieve better throughput. Our study shows that FlushMF provides higher throughput than Flush.
