Near instant link failure recovery and lower energy consumption can be achieved via the synergistic combination of Diversity and modified Triangular Network Coding (eDC-NC), an open-loop coding technique, in a wide variety of network architectures. In this paper, eDC-NC is applied to Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) to enable very rapid recovering from wireless link/node failures and provide low computational and energy cost, which are very important metrics for WSNs. It is shown that utilizing eDC-NC coding in WSNs can provide ultra-reliability with very rapid fault recovery, decrease energy consumption, and increase the network throughput for broadcasting applications.
