Abstract

We propose a Corrupt Packet Recycling (CPR) approach for WSN that processes and forwards partially-corrupt packets over multiple hops without necessitating their complete recovery. We motivate this approach with two insights: address-agnostic routing in WSN can forgive header errors since intermediate nodes know the next hop and the destination; and that payload errors can be either interpolated, due to error-tolerant nature of information in WSN applications, or rectified using spatio-temporal redundancies. CPR, without introducing any transmission overhead, improves information delivery rate by up to 4
