Frequently Asked Questions (11)
Q2. What is the way to reduce the transmission cost per packet?
An efficient void-handling technique can decrease overall transmission cost per packet by avoiding lossy links and thereby attain higher throughput.
Q3. What does scalability mean for a void-handling technique?
For a void-handling technique, scalability means that how many local maxima nodes can be handled without any significant reduction in performance.
Q4. What factors should be taken into account in order to calculate the packet delivery probability?
In order to calculate the packet delivery probability, some factors like the attenuation, the ambient noise, and the distance between nodes should be taken into account [80].
Q5. What is the heuristic approach used to detect a void surface node?
Surface node detection is performed by a heuristic approach which generates a number of vectors with random directions to check if there is any non-dominated vector.
Q6. What is the important criteria in void-handling techniques?
Some void-handling techniques can guarantee the packet delivery, as long as a topologically valid path exists between every local maxima node and the sink.
Q7. How can a void-handling technique guarantee the delivery of a packet?
Guaranteed delivery should be proved using the proposed void-handling mechanism and network topological properties assuming that other factors, such as physical links, MAC layer are in their ideal states.
Q8. What is the way to get a packet to a non-void node?
Some void-handling techniques allow a packet to get stuck and then initiate a recovery method to guide the packet to a non-void node.
Q9. What are the main factors involved in the creation of void areas?
In fact many other factors, such as deployment pattern of the nodes, node movement, and unreliability of some links, are involved in the creation of the void areas.
Q10. What is the effect of a duplicated path?
As a consequence, many duplicated paths are established between the sender and receiver which causes more energy consumption and collision.
Q11. What is the importance of detecting and handling void areas?
for long-term applications, detecting and handling the void areas with a long-term effective strategy is of high importance.
