[SensorNetArch] Assumption: Packet Redundancy

[Cheng Tien Ee]

Should there be the assumption that there would be redundant information 
carried within packets, so that the need for reliability isn't that 
great? Does this also mean that, if the information isn't so copious, 
then some amount of reliability would be desired? For instance, if a 
sink mote with more resources acts as an aggregation / processing point 
for 100s of motes, does this mean that whatever it spews out should be 
more reliably transmitted to the base station, since losing one packet 
would be the equivalent of losing 100s of packets from other motes?
