Energy Efficient Transmission Control Protocol in Wireless Sensor Networks

One of the most important challenges in the design of Wireless Senor Networks (WSN) is to maximize their lifetime. Sensor nodes are energy constrained in nature. Therefore, energy efficient communication techniques are necessary to increase the lifetime of sensor nodes. Maximum energy is consumed during transmission in comparison to sensing and processing of data. Redundant data increases the energy consumption during data transmission. In this paper, we present an Energy Efficient Transmission Control Protocol (EETCP) for the data gathering and data transmission within the network. Our objective is to maximize the network lifetime by controlling the transmission rate. We tried to minimize the redundant data transmission with the co-ordination of Base-station, to increases the lifetime of network.
