Radio Link Quality Estimation in Low-Power Wireless Networks: Overview of Link Quality Estimation [Low-power links exhibit a complex and dynamic behavior, e.g., frequent quality fluctuations, highly asymmetric connectivity, large transitional region. They are more unreliable than traditional wireless links. This is due to the use of low-power and low-cost radio transceivers.

Abstract

[Low-power links exhibit a complex and dynamic behavior, e.g., frequent quality fluctuations, highly asymmetric connectivity, large transitional region. They are more unreliable than traditional wireless links. This is due to the use of low-power and low-cost radio transceivers. These facts raised the need for link quality estimation as a fundamental building block for higher-layer protocols. This chapter presents the fundamental concepts related to link quality estimation in low-power wireless networks, such as the definition of the link quality estimation process, and the requirements for efficient Link Quality Estimators (LQEs). This chapter gives also and a comprehensive survey of existing LQEs.]
