Abstract

One of the challenges in the wireless sensor applications which are gaining much attention is the real-time transmission of continuous data packets across the network. Though advances in communication in sensor networks are providing guaranteed quality data packet delivery they still have some drawbacks. One such drawback is transmission of incessant data packets over high speed networks. Here in this paper we have designed a concentric sensor network having buffer just not at the sink but also in selected intermediate nodes to minimize the packet loss caused due to congestion. This approach results in haggle congestion and less packet loss in the designed network.
