Abstract :
For low-power wireless links in rich scattering environments, multipath fading can easily dominate over the large-scale path loss. With the help of a link estimator that merges channel state information with data-driven feedback, it is possible to opportunistically leverage on positive fading states induced by human mobility to streamline routing in static low-end sensor networks.
