Link quality estimation with the Gilbert-Elliot model for wireless sensor networks
Open accessAbstract
In this paper, we apply the Gilbert-Elliot model to analyze measurements on a large-scale wireless sensor testbed with nodes equipped with CC1101 and CC2420 radio chips. The model considers a packet loss process as a sequence of transitions between Good and Bad states. We analyze the Packet Reception Ratio (PRR) based on the probabilities derived from the Gilbert-Elliot model. We show that the probabilities and other parameters (run and loss lengths) can very well discriminate between the main categories of link quality such as good and weak links. Identification of link quality is crucial for routing protocols such as RPL and LOADng.

The Gilbert-Elliot model is extensively used to represent bursty error patterns in transmission channels.
“The Gilbert–Elliot (GE) [26,27] is extensively used to represent ‘bursty’ error patterns in transmission channels, allowing analysis of the transmission efficiency, such as how many errors an error-recovery scheme detects and corrects induced in its channel.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
