Abstract
Several network protocols and mechanisms rely on efficient link quality estimation to mitigate the unreliability of low-power links. A LQE can be efficient on a per-link basis, but it may lead to a poor performance when integrated in a particular protocol or mechanism. The objective of this chapter is to show how to use link quality estimation for improving higher layer protocols and mechanisms—especially routing and mobility management.
