Abstract

The wireless sensor network is the network that has large number of sensor nodes that are connected to each other. The wireless nodes sense the event and forward packets to the destination node. A transport layer handles congestion and packet loss recovery for reliable data transfer in WSN. There exist several protocols at the transport layer in WSN for reliable data transfer like ESRT, ATP, Tiny TCP/IP, PORT, CTCP, RTMC, DCDD, RETP etc. Each protocol has its merits and demerits. Traditional network uses TCP and UDP protocol at the transport layer. In WSN, these are not suitable. In this work, the TCP, SCTP and MPTCP are compared in the wireless sensor network environment. The wireless network with packet loss is considered. From the comparative analysis, we get the result that MPTCP gives the better performance than TCP and SCTP in the wireless sensor network.

Keyphrases: mptcp, sctp, tcp
