Abstract: Delay tolerance in wireless sensor network can be applied to complex and harsh communication environment. In order to improve the communication performance of delay tolerance in wireless sensor network, the optimisation of delay tolerance in wireless sensor network based on Unscented Kalman filter estimation is studied. Firstly, the model of delay tolerance in wireless sensor network is established according to the theory of dynamics and position constraints, and then an unscented Kalman filter estimation algorithm is used. Through analysing the basic state and measurement equation of delay tolerance in wireless sensor network model, the measurement equation of round-trip delay model is obtained. The pre handover time estimated by unscented Kalman filter is set, to effectively reduce the pre handover time and energy consumption, and optimise the delay wireless sensor network. The experimental results show that the delay tolerance of wireless sensor network optimised by the proposed method is within 30 ms under different observation noises, and the packet loss rate and energy consumption are low.
