Abstract

With the evolution of communication technology, wireless networks have become widely adopted in many modern applications. The communication in a Smart Grid system relies on a large number of low-power sensors, which stimulates vigorous development of related researches. Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) is a new transport-layer protocol. It combines the advantages of both TCP and UDP, and provides new features such as multi-homing and multi-streaming. SCTP can provide high-performance transmission in both wired and wireless networks. This paper applied SCTP in a wireless sensor network, and studied how it can improve network reliability.
