Abstract
Recently, various application services in wireless sensor networks are more considered than before, and thus reliable and secure communication of sensor network is turning out as one of essential issues. This paper studies such communication in IEEE 802.15.4 based sensor network. We present IMHRS (IEEE 802.15.4 MAC-based Hybrid hop-by-hop Reliability Scheme) employing EHHR (Enhanced Hop-by-Hop Reliability), which uses Hop-cache and Hop-ack and ALC (Adaptive Link Control), which considers link status and packet type. Also, by selecting security suite depending on network and application type, energy efficiency is considered based on HAS (Hybrid Adaptive Security) Framework. The presented schemes are evaluated by simulations and experiments. Besides, the prototype system is developed and tested to show the potential efficiency.
