TCP is primarily designed for wired networks and became very efficient and robust with years of enhancements. However, experiments and research showed that TCP's congestion control algorithm performs very poorly over Wireless Sensor Networks with degraded throughputs. This paper studies TCP's throughput issues in Wireless Sensor Networks, and designs an improved congestion control algorithm based on the characteristics of the Wireless Sensor Networks. The protocol is designed as improvement to DCCP (Datagram Congestion Control Protocol) with a new congestion control component. We also implemen...
