Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) face the challenge of ensuring end-to-end communication while operating over individually unreliable wireless links. This paper addresses channel hopping, a class frequency diverse protocols in which subsequent packets are sent different channels. Channel hopping combats external interference and persistent multipath fading, two main causes failure along link.
