Data forwarding in extremely low duty-cycle sensor networks with unreliable communication links
Yu Jason Gu, Tian He · 2007
In extremely low duty-cycle sensor networks, end-to-end communications cannot afford to maintain an always-awake communication backbone. Low duty-cycle, accompanied by the unreliable nature of wireless communication, makes it essential to design a new data forwarding scheme for such networks, so as to achieve network energy efficiency, reliability, and timeliness in an integrated fashion.
