Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, we apply network coding which can reduce the number of packet transfers for multi-path configuration or multi-sink configuration which can increase dependability in data gathering wireless sensor networks. More precisely, STNC (Side Trip with Network Coding) for multi-path configuration and IFNCPA (Inter-Flow Network Coding with Passive ACK) for multi-sink configuration are proposed and the effectiveness of the proposed scheme is verified through simulation experiments, which contributes the development of network coding technologies for sensor networks.
