Cooperative Coded Data Dissemination for Wireless Sensor Networks
In this poster paper we present a data dissemination transmission abstraction
for over the air programming (OAP) protocol which is fundamentally different
from the previous hop by hop transmission protocols. Instead of imposing the
greedy requirement that at least one node in the ith hop receives all packets
before transmitting packets to the next hop and its neighbours, we take
advantage of the spatial diversity and broadcast nature of wireless
transmission to adopt a cooperative approach in which node broadcast whatever
packets it has received with the expectation that it will recover the lost
packets with high probability by overhearing the broadcast transmissions of its
neighbours. The use of coded transmissions ensures that this does not lead to
the broadcast storm problem. We validate the improved performance our of
proposed transmission scheme with respect to the previous state of the art OAP
protocols on a proof-of-concept two-hops TelosB wireless sensor network
