Neighbor discovery analysis in wireless sensor networks
Elyes Ben Hamida, Guillaume Chelius, Éric Fleury · 2006
In wireless sensor networks, hello protocols for neighbor discovery are a basic service offered by the networking stack. However, their study usually rely on rather simplistic models. In this paper we study the impact of radio interferences on neighbor discovery and we introduce an analytical model to estimate the average number of neighbors that a node may expect to discover in his neighborhood.
