Abstract

This work presents Collaborative Transport Control Protocol (CTCP), a new transport protocol for sensor networks. It aims at providing end-to-end reliability and adapts itself to different applications through a mechanism of reliability variation. Its congestion control and detection differentiates communication losses from buffer overflow. CTCP is called collaborative because all nodes detect and act on congestion control and also because it includes distributed storage responsibility. It is scalable and independent of the underlying network layer. It was observed that distributed fault recovery increases reliability and that duplication of storage responsibility minimizes the message loss.
