Worst-Case Routing Performance Metrics for Sensor Networks
Edwin Soedarmadji · 2007
Successful integration of pervasive sensor networks in mission critical applications depends on the ability of these networks to cope with and reasonably perform under the worst-case scenarios. One of the key performance measures is the network's ability to route information from the source node to the intended destination. This paper introduces a general framework with which worst-case routing performance of sensor networks can be evaluated and compared. Ultimately, our method can either be used as a design optimization tool, or a decision making tool to select and price contending sensor network designs
