If a persistence mechanism is implemented, the data transmission probability is just the persistence probability.
For instance, for ACK and data packet lengths of 26 and 320 bytes, respectively, a successful data transmission probability of 80% corresponds to an ACK transmission probability of 98%.
Forward error correction (FEC) schemes are used to protect the video data against channel errors in order to improve the successful data transmission probability and to eliminate the costly retransmissions.
Two performance metrics, called probability of a successful data transmission and probability that the multiple routes can support the next data transmission, are introduced.
If there are n communication agents, they are game players; the player k (0 ≤ k ≤ n) contends for the opportunity of data transmission with probability q k (i. e., q k ∈ S k ) in a time slot where 0 ≤ q k ≤ 1.
We also found that the PECAcq derived using the RR to be consistent with that derived using the Rakai data of HIV transmission probabilities (Protocol S2), where the role of confounding is likely minimal due to the study design of monogamous partnerships and confirmation of within partnership transmission [17], [37], [115].
First, these methods do not account for data transmission mechanisms and transmission probability that can affect the node evaluation effects.
In this paper, larger duty cycle is chosen for nodes with residual energy to improve the reliability of data transmission, reducing the probability of data retransmission, so that the network delay can be reduced in IWSNs.
For the first category, the focus is to reduce either signaling overhead for small data transmission or contention probability, since both reduce the transmitted bits for MTC devices and thus help energy saving.
