Abstract: This paper proposes an algorithm that estimates the communication delay in sensor networks with CSMA/CA communication mechanism. It estimates the link probability with a model based on temporal correlation and spatial correlation of link quality, and estimates the contention delay using a simple collision probability model. The simulation of the algorithm on ns2 simulator shows that the contention delay estimation of the algorithm is accurate and the time cost is always low regardless of network contention.

Key words: sensor network, communication delay, link probability, contention delay
