Multiple error correction towards optimisation of energy in sensor network

Abstract

<span>Hybrid ARQ (HARQ) is among the optimum error controls implemented in Wireless Sensor Network as it reduces the overhead from retransmission and error correcting codes. The advancement in WSN includes the usage of high number of nodes and the increase in traffic with large data transmitted among the nodes had concerned the need for a new approach in error control algorithm. This paper proposed the multiple error correction based on HARQ process to aid the changes in channel with proper error correction assignment towards optimising the performances of WSN in terms of bit error rates, remaining energy, and latency for different types of congestion and channel conditions. In this study, we have developed the channel adaptation algorithm that can adapt to sudden changes and demonstrated the optimal error correcting codes as well as adjustment on the transmit power for the given channel condition and congestion presented. From the result analysed, the optimisation between the remaining energy and Bit Error rates happened on the basis of adapting to these different channel condition and congestion to minimize redundancies appended. From the result obtained, we concluded that by using multiple error correction algorithm with the aid of adjustment on the transmit power, the remaining energy can be optimised together with Bit Error rates and the excessive redundancies can be reduced</span>
