Internet) KW - Electrical Engineering N1 - Characteristics of Low-Power Links -- External Radio Interference -- Overview of Link Quality Estimation -- Performance evaluation of link quality estimators -- On the use of link quality estimation for improving higher layer protocols and mechanisms -- Conclusions N2 - This book provides a comprehensive survey on related work for radio link quality estimation, which covers the characteristics of low-power links, the fundamental concepts of link quality estimation in wireless sensor networks, a taxonomy of existing link quality estimators and their performance analysis. It then shows how link quality estimation can be used for designing protocols and mechanisms such as routing and hand-off. The final part is dedicated to radio interference estimation, generation and mitigation UR - http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-00774-8 ER -
