Abstract

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are deployed for various applications such as military applications, environmental monitoring, security and surveillance, health care applications and so on. In most of these applications, reliable data transport is of great importance and also a facet of quality of service (QoS). This chapter discusses reliable data transport approaches and protocols. The presented protocols should be energy efficient besides they guarantee reliability in data transmission. The authors review protocols mostly based on packet and event reliability taking advantage of retransmission and redundancy mechanisms. In addition, network component failures and fault tolerant techniques should be also considered in reliable WSN designs. Since different reliability evaluation modeling approaches is presented. Finally the authors highlight the challenges to WSNs reliability enhancement and some future research directions are addressed in particular.
