摘要：The Wireless Sensor Network is a network of many sensor nodes with wireless channels to communicate with others. With no centralized control and specified network connection, it can transfer to the outside world. At the same time, both nodes are capable of acting as a source or sink node. These nodes have minimal processing power due to their small physical size, limiting the processor capacity and the battery's size. When they work together collectively, they can gather information about the physical environment. They get a transceiver to communicate with the virtual world and with the real world. The routing topology to be used for the network depends on the transmission capacity of its nodes. It also depends on the location of the node, which may differ from time to time.This paper examines the characteristics of a wireless sensor network and analyzing the functionality of TCP protocol and its variables. It suggests using nodes near the sinks as proxy nodes to improve the WSN transport layer's efficiency. The results of the simulation show that the throughput increases.
