In the FEC scheme, the error correction rate varies depending on the length of parity used for the recovery of broken data. The longer the parity length, the higher the possible error correction rate. However, this also means that the energy consumption increases. Meanwhile, in a solar-powered WSN, the energy of each node can be periodically collected, but the amount of collected energy varies drastically depending on the harvesting environment, including factors such as the weather, season and time of day. Therefore, each node must control energy consumption according to the energy harvesting rate. The scheme proposed in this study executes this control by adaptively adjusting the parity length of FEC according to the given energy budget of a node for the next period. This means that the error recovery rate can be increased as much as possible without adversely affecting the blackout time. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme improves the amount of data collected from the entire network for each environment compared with previous schemes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s18082599","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,8,9]],"date-time":"2018-08-09T03:33:48Z","timestamp":1533785628000},"page":"2599","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Energy-Aware Control of Error Correction Rate for Solar-Powered Wireless Sensor Networks"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Minjae","family":"Kang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electronic Engineering, Soongsil University, Seoul 06978, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2068-633X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dong Kun","family":"Noh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Software Convergence, Soongsil University, Seoul 06978, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ikjune","family":"Yoon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Smart Systems Software, Soongsil University, Seoul 06978, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,8,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"443","DOI":"10.1109\/SURV.2011.060710.00094","article-title":"Energy harvesting sensor nodes: Survey and implications","volume":"13","author":"Sudevalayam","year":"2011","journal-title":"IEEE Commun.
