Exploiting heterogeneity in sensor networks (2005, background): “Metricbased routing, which has been shown to improve end-to-end path quality in homogeneous networks [4], can also provide the basis for determining whether a given node should utilize the overlay network to deliver a packet to the sink.”
Computing aggregates for monitoring wireless sensor networks (2003, background): “Depending on those conditions, empirical studies show that heavy packet loss and link asymmetry can be quite common in wireless networks [13], [18].”
Comparison of routing metrics for static multi-hop wireless networks (2004, methodology): “In static ad-hoc wireless networks, choosing paths that minimize hop count (the most commonly used metric in ad-hoc routing [18, 25–27]) can lead to poor performance [11] because such paths tend to include wireless links between distant nodes.”
Geographic routing made practical (2005, background): “One might argue that comparing CLDP paths with shortest paths is unrealistic, since shortest-path routing is known to offer low throughput [3] over a wireless network whose links span a wide range of packet delivery rates.”
AntHocNet: an adaptive nature-inspired algorithm for routing in mobile ad hoc networks (2005, background): “The quality of paths is usually assessed in terms of hop count or round trip time; combining different metrics is less common but can be important [9].”
Beacon vector routing: scalable point-to-point routing in wireless sensornets (2005, background): “Measurement studies [32, 33, 3] have shown that this assumption is grossly violated by real radios.”
Understanding packet delivery performance in dense wireless sensor networks (2003, background): “[4] finds high variability in link quality, both on a wireless local network and a roof-top radio frequency network.”
Fairness in Wireless Networks:Issues, Measures and Challenges (2014, background): “protocols based on only hop count are not suitable and efficient in wireless networks, since link quality and congestion are not considered [116].”
A survey on real-world implementations of mobile ad-hoc networks (2007, methodology): “This has been shown for sensor networks [12], [31], mesh networks [17], [18], [19] and MANETs [44].”
