Abstract

In this paper, we present CodeDrip, a data dissemination protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks. Dissemination is typically used to query nodes, send commands, and reconfigure the network. CodeDrip utilizes Network Coding to improve energy efficiency, reliability, and speed of dissemination. Network coding allows recovery of lost packets by combining the received packets thereby making dissemination robust to packet losses. While previous work in combining network coding and dis- semination focused on bulk data dissemination, we optimize the design of CodeDrip for dissemination of small values. We perform extensive evalu- ation of CodeDrip on simulations and a large-scale testbed and compare against the implementations of Drip, DIP and DHV protocols. Results show that CodeDrip is faster, smaller and sends fewer messages than Drip, DHV and DIP protocols.
