Abstract
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) has become an appealing field of research because of its wide range of applications in different fields. In recent years, a significant amount of research has focused on improving network lifetime irrespective of the network throughput. This paper focuses on improving network throughput by using efficient coding techniques and different coding schemes without affecting the lifetime. It is shown that throughput increases with the increase of the BCH coding rate. Also, the use of multi coding is investigated. Different rates/codes are studied between sensor nodes and the network master (NM) and between the NM and the sink.
Highlights
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) consist of hundreds or thousands of multi-functioning sensor nodes where each sensor is capable of sensing its surrounding and processing data

WSN has a wide range of applications in different fields such as environmental monitoring, electromagnetic pollution monitoring, military, industrial and medical applications [1,2,3,4,5]
Summary
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) consist of hundreds or thousands of multi-functioning sensor nodes where each sensor is capable of sensing its surrounding and processing data. Using Error Correcting Codes (ECC) is essential in sensor networks to improve data integrity [6,7] in spite of its adverse effect on the lifetime due to the energy required for the encoding and decoding processes. The same code is used between the sensor and Network Master (NM) and between the NM and the sink. Two different rates/codes are used; the first between the sensor and the NM and another between the NM and the sink.
