Model For Building Wireless Sensor Networks

摘要

In order to develop algorithms for wireless sensor networks and in order to give mathematical correctness and performance proofs, models for various aspects of sensor networks are needed. Generally, finding good models is a challenging task. On the one hand, a model should be as simple as possible such that the analysis of a given algorithm remains tractable. On the other hand, however, a model must not be too simplistic in the sense that it neglects important properties of the network. A great algorithm in theory may be inefficient or even incorrect in practice if the analysis is based on idealistic assumptions.
