one of the most critical tasks of a Wireless Sensor Network is the ability to sense the parameter or event under consideration and then ensure delivery of sufficient amount of information gathered to the sink for it to be able to re-construct the event reliably. This reliable delivery of information assumes more importance in a Wireless Sensor & Actuator Network since it has a direct impact on the decision making process for subsequent action by the actuator network. This paper presents in details a novel methodology “Layer Based Time Constrained Reliable Data Acquisition Mechanism” LTCRDM, for reliable delivery of information sensed periodically by the sensors deployed over a geographical area to a centralized sink where the decisions are taken based on the collected data and then passed on to the actuators for subsequent actions. In view of the reliability and latency requirements of Wireless Sensor & Actuator Network, the mechanism detailed has constraints on the time between sensing at the sensor node and reception of data at the sink besides ensuring relatively low packet loss as compared to standard packet delivery mechanisms. Authors have provided detailed algorithm, results of simulation and observations using IEEE 802.15.4 PHY & MAC as underlying layers. A critical analysis of the results is presented for comparison against the standard methodologies in vogue.
