Abstract (EN): This paper addresses the use of network coding algorithms combined with adequate retransmission techniques to improve the communication reliability of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). Basically, we assess the recently proposed Optimized Relay Selection Technique (ORST) operating together with four different retransmission techniques, three of them applying network coding algorithms. The target of this assessment is to analyze the impact upon the communication reliability from each of the proposed retransmission techniques for WSN applications. In addition, this paper presents an extensive state-of-the-art study in what concerns the use of network coding techniques in the WSN context. The initial assumption of this research work was that the ORST operating together network coding would improve the communication reliability of WNS. However, the simulation assessment highlighted that, when using the ORST technique, retransmission without network coding is the better solution.
