Future Enhancement:

In this paper, we have focused on data-driven link estimation and routing in 802.11 networks. But we believe that the concept of data-driven link estimation also applies to other sensor networks such as those using IEEE 802.15.4 radios, since temporal correlation in link properties also leads to estimation inaccuracy in these networks [10]. Besides saving energy by avoiding periodic beaconing, LOF facilitates greater extent of energy conservation, because LOF does not require a node to be awake unless it is generating or forwarding data traffic. We plan to explore these directions in our future work.
