Hello,
I'm confused with the lifetime of sensor network. Is it the time until the
last or the first node uses out of energy. Or, is it the time before a
small fraction of nodes die, and how exact is the fraction. I want the
AUTHORITATIVE definition, e.g. by IEEE. Any one can help? Thanks in
Hi Wang,
I dont know any authoritative definition for the lifetime of a network.
But in my opinion is that depends on the application/scenario. Some
authors claim that it is the time till the last/first node is
alive/dead, or even half network is dead. But i guess that it is
important to
I you want the AUTHORITATIVE definition, e.g. by IEEE, you will have to
search for it.

Hi Wang,
to my knowledge, the most accredited definitions for network's
lifetime are:
- the time when the first node is dead
- the time when there is a partition in the network (i.e. the network is
disconnected)
In general, these are the most interesting values when studying for
example
