Abstract
In the last few years, WSN has been object of an intense research activity that has determined an important improvement by technologic and computation point of view both. The notable level got and the increasing request of applications designed over Sensor Networks make WSN commercial diffusion next to be a fact. Limited resource orientation and high level application requirements result in a number of key open issues, such as Resource Optimization and Quality of Service. These last two issues require an important preliminary phase of analysis and evaluation that can provide the designer with knowledge of important relationships between parameters design and application desired characteristics. Mathematical models of local resource (node), of network influence on single resource, of QoS requests, and related analysis techniques to determine not only “how much” but also “in which way” resources are expensed are proposed in this paper.
