Abstract
Applications of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) in industrial and consumer applications cause to get the attention of most researchers in this field. Besides these applications, security and reliability of WSN are extremely important, as important data can be conveyed securely from senders to receivers. Security and reliability in the WSNs always considers as a challenging issues. Several algorithms have been proposed to overcome the problem. However, the results are still not satisfactory. This paper proposes a new algorithm using coding theory to overcome the security and reliability problems in WSNs. The proposed algorithm uses minimum redundancy and optimal symbol allocation to ensure that the probability of successful data decoding is greater than or equal to a specified threshold. The experimental results show that the performance of proposed algorithm is much better when compared with other algorithms.
