It can be observed that the increase in energy consumption with the addition of relays is more significant when the data rate of the SR links is low.
Figure 4 displays the average similarity σ of networks in consecutive windows of different durations W. When the windows are very short, the networks are very sparse and the number of common links is low.
Especially, it was demonstrated on gWormNet, where the density of network links is low (see Table 8).
The overall link utilization is low for both heuristics.
Under the low speed conditions of this scenario, the number of link breaks is low.
Devices perform preemptive re-association, when their link quality is low with their parent coordinator.
When the link capacity is low AAQM regulates the queue length best, while BLUE oscillates between an empty and full buffer.
Link potential is high (left) when the distributions of correlation differ between the high and low association range more than expected by chance; link potential is low (right) where no difference is observed.
If the cross-link density is low enough, these sections are not sensitive to the network structure.
