Wireless Sensor Networks : Technology, Protocols, and Applications

300 PERFORMANCE AND TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT
11.6 CONCLUSION
In this chapter we discussed performance modeling for wireless sensor networks.
First, we described briefly the characteristics of wireless sensor networks for
performance modeling. Several basic design issues were surveyed briefly in Section
11.2. Performance metrics and basic models for wireless sensor networks were then
investigated, and a systematic approach for performance modeling of wireless
sensor networks in [11.17] was reviewed. Finally, a simple model to compute
system lifetime was presented. It should be pointed out that there are several
other performance modeling issues related to capacity, coverage, and connectivity
in [11.22] and [11.23], but not discussed in this chapter.
