Radio Link Quality Estimation in Low-Power Wireless Networks

This book provides a comprehensive survey on related work for radio link quality estimation, which covers the characteristics of low-power links, the fundamental concepts of link quality estimation in wireless sensor networks, a taxonomy of existing link quality estimators and their performance analysis. It then shows how link quality estimation can be used for designing protocols and mechanisms such as routing and hand-off. The final part is dedicated to radio interference estimation, generation and mitigation.

Table des matières

Characteristics of Low-Power Links.- External Radio Interference.- Overview of Link Quality Estimation.- Performance evaluation of link quality estimators.- On the use of link quality estimation for improving higher layer protocols and mechanisms.- Conclusions.
