Experimental Analysis of Link Estimation Methods in Low Power Wireless Networks

Wireless sensor networks are envisioned to be an integral part of cyber-physical systems,yet wireless networks are inherently dynamic and come with various uncertainties.One such uncertainty is wireless communication itself which assumes complex spatial and temporal dynamics.For dependable and predictable performance,therefore,link estimation has become a basic element of wireless network routing.Several approaches using broadcast beacons and/or unicast MAC feedback have been proposed in the past years,but ...
