A survey of transport protocols for wireless sensor networks

In this article we present a survey of transport protocols for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). We first highlight several unique aspects of WSNs, and describe the basic design criteria and challenges of transport protocols, including energy-efficiency, quality of service, reliability, and congestion control. We then provide a summary and comparison of existing transport protocols for WSNs. Finally, we discuss several open research problems. A Survey of Transport Protocols for Wireless Sensor Networks
