Abstract
Large-scale wireless sensor networks are constructed by using a large number of sensor nodes that are non-uniformly deployed over a wide area. As a result, the data collected by the sensor nodes are similar to that from one another since a high density of the sensor nodes may cause an overlap. As a result of the characteristics of the traffic, data is collected from a plurality of sensor nodes by a sink node, and when the sensor nodes transmit their collected data to the sink node, the sensor nodes around the sink node have a higher amount of traffic than the sensor nodes far away from the sink node. Thus, the former sensor encounter bottlenecks due to traffic congestion and have an energy hole problem more often than the latter ones, increasing energy consumption. This paper proposes a congestion control scheme that considers traffic flows in order to control traffic congestion of the sensor nodes that are non-uniformly deployed over a large-scale wireless sensor network.
