Scalability Problem

• To be simple, there's time uncertainty τe during transmission in each hop

• For a path of h hops, the PMF of accumulated τe is:

• For m independent paths, each of which consists h hops originated at the sink node:∆ = max( τh

e) − min(τhe)

• ∆ increases as m & h increase• PRR decreases as ∆ increases

• m = 5

Lower Bound of PRR

• Assume in grid networks• Γh

m(∆ ≤ t): CDF of ∆ of a common ancestor node propagates a packet

• CDF of ∆ ≤ 0.5µs between nodeN8 and N9:

N5 → {N8,N9}N2 → {N4,N5} → {N8,N9}N0 → {N1,N2} → {N4,N5} → {N8,N9}

• (Skip proof)For 32 bytes packet length,Γh

m(∆ ≤ 0.5) between parent and childs >= 95.4%

SCIF

• Spine Constructive Interference based Flooding

• Key:– Decrease the # of m– Length of a grid cell=0.5

of communication range=> guarantee connection

Comments

• Decent mathematical analysis• Good introduction to related work• No implementation• With capture effect (strong capture), Glossy is

actually not so vulnerable• With noise, SCIF is probably not so good

Scalability Problem

• Time uncertainty τe during transmission in each hop

• In Glossy: τe = τsw + τd + τtx + τp

τsw: software delayτd: radio processingτtx: clock uncertainty due to clock frequency driftsτp: propagation delay
