Wan Du, Zhenjiang Li, Jansen Christian Liando, Mo Li AbstractThis paper presents a distanceless networking approachfor wireless sensor networks sparsely deployed in large areas.By leveraging rateless codes, we provide distancelesstransmission to expand the communication range of sensormotes and fully exploit network diversity. We addressa variety of practical challenges to accommodate ratelesscoding on resource-constrained sensor motes and devise acommunication protocol to efficiently coordinate ...
