Performance of Network Coding Based Multipath Routing in Wireless Sensor Networks
In recent times, there have been many advances in the field of information theory and wireless sensor network (WSN) technologies. Network coding is a new paradigm in data transport and promises to change many aspects of WSN. In this paper, we introduce an analytical framework to study the performance of network coding based multipath routing, and proposes a Network Coding based Multipath Routing algorithm, in comparison with replication based multipath routing in WSN (NCMR). It is typically proposed in order to increase the reliability of data transmission or to provide load balancing. In our simulation, we compare NCMR routing protocol with AODVM and MDSR routing protocol, in terms of the packet delivery rate, average packet delivery delay, packet loss probability and network lifetime when a packet is transmitted. The simulation results show that the NCMR routing protocol provide an accurate and efficient method of estimating and evaluating the route stability in dynamic WSNs.
