INCREASING LIFETIME OF WIRELESS SENSOR NETWOKS BY USING FORWARD ERROR CORRECTION

Abstract

Currently, Wireless Sensor Networks are common in Vietnam. They are used in many areas of life, such as fires warning, fire alarm in the building.... However, wireless sensor networks have limited energy resources. My thesis research focused approach to increase effective of the energy consumption in wireless sensor networks using Forward Error Correction (FEC) scheme in the receiver, to minimize the energy consumed in sending the ACK packets when using traditional ARQ (Automatic Repeat-Request) code.
