A REVIEW OF CONSTRUCTIVE INTERFERENCE FLOODING IN WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS

摘要

Constructive interference is a promising concurrent transmission technique for multiple senders concurrently transmitting the same packet in wireless sensor networks. It enables reliable and fast network flooding in order to decrease the scheduling overhead of MAC protocols, improve link quality of lossy links, achieve accurate time synchronization, and to realize efficient data collection. This paper discusses the concept of constructive interference, its importance, pre-conditions and open issues and challenges that should be considered by the researchers. This paper delivers the knowledge about constructive interference in WSN as a literature review, to get more knowledge about this emerging technique.
