Wireless sensor networks have been attracting research attention for the past decade and will continue to be a hot topic due to the emerging trend of Internet-of-Things (IoT). Edge computing for IoT (Edge-IoT) is a promising framework that can help low-powered sensor networks to conduct complex computational tasks. Different from the existing works that focus on cooperative task execution for edge and sensor networks, in this paper, we investigate the problem of reliable data transmission in edge-aided sensor networks. Firstly, we discuss how edge servers can help to improve the data transmission of sensor networks. Secondly, we propose a forwarding scheme for edge nodes to forward packets according to coverage and corresponding interference. Thirdly, we propose an edge-based error recovery approach. By employing edge servers for data transmission and error recovery, the efficiency and reliability of data transmissions can be largely improved. View Full-Text
