File Transfer with Erasure Coding over Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract

In order to provide a step towards the goal of passing TCP/IP traffic across wireless sensor networks, a method for file transfer utilizing forward error correction (FEC) is studied. Previous work in the area of terminal communication across the sensor network is expanded upon to include file transfer in order to provide a more capable channel and a basis for testing the performance obtained through erasure coding. The results of the FEC implementation are examined using multiple sensor network configurations. The study is completed with recommendations for continued work towards developing tunneled TCP/IP data transfer across wireless sensor networks.
