“…At time in mesh WSNs, ,sink ( , ) is the probability that in the disjoint minimal path sets (from the source node to sink) there exists at least one path whose packet delivery rate is greater than the threshold ( , ) of th transmission, as shown in (11). Mesh ( , ) is the probability that Path( ,sink) ( , ) is greater than the uplink transmission threshold ( , ) in mesh WSNs, as shown in (12), where Path( ,sink) ( , ) represents the reliability of the th path from the source node to sink:…”
