Abstract :
The paper presents a survey on transport control protocols for wireless sensor networks (WSNs). First, it lists the disadvantages of traditional transport control protocols (TCP and UDP) for the environment of WSNs. Second, several design issues of transport control protocols for WSNs are presented. Third, some existing transport control protocols for WSNs are classified and compared. Finally, several problems needing further studying are outlined.
