An empirical study of low-power wireless (2010, background): “The same work presents a way to derive the duration of correlated reception from ß. Protocols can choose backoffs based on such metrics and reduce transmission costs: setting CTP s backoff based on ß reduced the average transmission cost by 15% [Srinivasan et al. 2008].”
Beyond co-existence: Exploiting WiFi white space for Zigbee performance assurance (2010, background): “It significantly improves the throughput of bursty links by transmitting back-to-back packets and controlling the backoff delay when a failure occurs [ 16 ].”
Collection tree protocol (2009, background): “There are temporal variations in the signal-to-noise ratio: this suggests that low-power link layers should consider the effects of link burstiness [29].”
Does Wireless Sensor Network Scale? A Measurement Study on GreenOrbs (2011, background): “The study of beta-factor [24] presents a comprehensive study to quantify and characterize link burstiness.”
Augmenting mobile 3G using WiFi (2010, background): “In addition, when a packet is lost, there is a high chance that the retransmission will fail, since losses are bursty in the vehicular environment [2,22].”
Surviving wi-fi interference in low power ZigBee networks (2010, background): “This result is supported by multiple previous studies that have shown that 15.4 performance significantly degrades in the presence of 802.11 interference [6, 18, 25 , 28].”
Radio link quality estimation in wireless sensor networks (2012, background): “…real-world measurements with different platforms, under varying experimental conditions, assumptions, and scenarios [Cerpa et al. 2003, 2005b]; [Srinivasan et al. 2008, 2010a]; [Zhao and Govindan 2003; Ganesan et al. 2002; Lal et al. 2003; Zhou et al. 2004; Srinivasan and Levis 2006b; Son et…”
Interactive Analytical Processing in Big Data Systems: A Cross-Industry Study of MapReduce Workloads (2012, background): “There are also domain-specific metrics, such as for bursty packet loss on wireless links [47].”
