In this paper, we propose a transmission control protocol, TCP, for data mining in WSNs. By using collision notification, when the collision occurs, TCP reduces the energy consumption in data mining. Performance of data mining application improves since the remainder of sensory mined data is not sent unnecessarily. Instead, this channel is released for more productive transmissions of mined data. Therefore, TCP can efficiently handle the collision during the data mining, and conserve more energy to extend the lifetime of WSNs for data mining. Most importantly, TCP is a distributed scheme without requirement of time synchronization, so it is practical to realize TCP in real time data mining application. Moreover, TCP is evaluated in both simulation and testbed experiments, and the results indicate that TCP significantly improves mined data transmission amount and mined data delivery energy consumption.
