Abstract :
Wireless sensor networks share the spectrum with other wireless technologies. Hence, in order to minimize the effects of external interference they must carefully choose the channels for packet transmissions and reception. The identification of the best channels is, however, non-trivial. In this poster we present and evaluate a new channel quality metric that is based on the availability of channels over time rather than on the average energy in channels.
