I always thought that in theory this is a good argument for dense multihop wireless networks - the potential energy savings from forwarding over multiple shorter hops instead of one long range transmission. I guess in practice there are additional losses at each step that outweigh the potential gains.
- ghshephard 12y agoThe nice advantage you get with Multi-Hop wireless networks is Link Layer retry. So not only can you hop 50+ miles, you also are able to retry in the face of RF noise at some of your hops.
- lnteveryday 12y agoAnother issue to consider is that the maximum bandwidth halves with each hop on a normal mesh.
