Reliable Multicast in Wireless Sensor Networks
Category: Networking and Communications
Overview Multicasting in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is an efficient way to disseminate the same data to multiple receivers. For critical tasks such as code updates, reliability would be a desirable feature, in order to use multicasting for such scenarios. Due to the nature of WSNs, several problems exist that make realizing an efficient, reliable and energy consumption friendly implementation a challenging task. This paper describes the challenges of such an implementation and proposes a solution for designing a reliable multicast solution based on IP Multicast and Overlay Multicast. They discuss several scenarios and depict the different advantages and limitations of the solutions proposed.
