Proactive Cooperative Communication Enabled Fifth Generation Wireless Sensor Network Using SCTP

The paramount aim of this paper is to develop a Hybrid Cooperative Communication Enabled 5G Wireless Sensor Network (HCC 5G-WSN) with an improved throughput. A reliable, message oriented, and infrastructure based transport protocol termed Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) can be preferred with the purpose to enrich the throughput through a hybrid approach instead of Proactive and Reactive approaches seperately in the 5G-WSN. SCTP combines an amalgamation of advanced and unique features of multistreaming and multihoming techniques that are not available in Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) which adds an attractive property in the form of enhancing throughput. A Quality of Service (QoS) parameter ‘throughput’ has been calculated for the proposed 5G-WSN scheme under the Hybrid environment, Proactive and Reactive scenarios under cooperative communication by selecting shortest cooperative relay nodes. The comparative analysis of the results specifies the throughput enrichment over the TCP is 22% and 17% in Proactive approach and Reactive approach respectively. But using SCTP, Proactive and Reactive methods obtained with 38% and 44% respectively as better throughput enhancement comparatively. From the experimental results, the proposed hybrid cooperative communication enabled 5G-WSN using SCTP has got an edge over other methods in improved throughput as 54% which shows a better performance of 5G-WSN.
