M.R.Ebenezar jebarani1and T.Jayanthy2 ABSTRACTIn Wireless sensor network, since the media is wireless there will be burst errors which leads tohigh bit error rate that affect the throughput. Wireless sensor networks drop the packets due to propagationerrors that lead to retransmission traffic. This paper evaluates the effect of adaptive FEC in Wirelesssensor networks. Adaptive FEC technique improves the throughput by dynamically tuning FEC dependingupon the wireless channel loss. The main ...
