## 2. 论文主线叙事 (Paper Narrative)

### 2.1 核心结论 (Key Finding)

> **Flooding achieves higher delivery ratios at the cost of near channel saturation, whereas Gradient provides a substantially more airtime-efficient operating point with comparable collision levels to Random forwarding.**

### 2.2 正确的问题定位 (Correct Framing)

❌ 错误表述:
> "Gradient achieves comparable reliability"

✅ 正确表述:
> "Gradient operates in a significantly more efficient region of the reliability–airtime tradeoff space"

## 3. 论文结构建议 (Suggested Paper Structure)

### IV. Evaluation

#### A. Experimental Methodology

> Results are averaged over 50 independent simulation seeds to mitigate stochastic channel effects.

| Parameter | Value |
|----------|-------|
| Nodes | 12 |
| Area | 800m × 800m |
| Duration | 100s |
| Seeds | 50 |
| Confidence Interval | 95% |

#### B. Reliability Comparison

观察:
- Flooding achieves highest PDR (23.74%)
- 但 reliability 被 channel contention 限制

#### C. Channel Utilization Analysis (核心)

插入: `pdr_vs_airtime.pdf`

> Flooding operates near full channel utilization (96.52%), indicating that reliability gains are achieved through aggressive channel usage.

#### D. Collision Behavior

| Algorithm | Collisions (avg) |
|----------|------------------|
| Flooding | 327.5 |
| Gradient | 93.6 |
| Random | 91.74 |

> Flooding increases contention by 3.5× rather than improving forwarding efficiency.

#### E. Reliability–Efficiency Tradeoff (论文核心)

插入: `pdr_vs_tx_cost.pdf`

> Gradient achieves significantly lower transmission cost per successful delivery, demonstrating improved energy efficiency in the resource-constrained LoRa environment.

## 5. 讨论要点 (Discussion Points)

### 5.1 关键发现

1. **Flooding 不可扩展**: 96% airtime 意味着无法扩展到更多节点
2. **信道是真正瓶颈**: LoRa 多跳性能受限于 MAC/PHY 而非路由算法
3. **效率优先**: 智能路由的价值在于找到高效运行区间

### 5.2 论文贡献定位

本论文贡献:
> **Quantified efficiency–reliability tradeoff characterization in LoRa multi-hop networks**

而非:
> "提出新路由算法" (审稿人会质疑 novelty)

## 8. 核心数据速查 (Quick Reference)

```
PDR:
  Gradient: 12.13% (CI: ±1.42)
  Flooding: 23.74% (CI: ±1.30)
  Random: 11.55% (CI: ±1.39)

Airtime:
  Gradient: 39.63%
  Flooding: 96.52% (SATURATED!)
  Random: 39.03%

Collisions:
  Flooding: 327.5 (3.5× higher)

Key Insight:
  Flooding PDR is 2× higher but
  Airtime is 2.4× higher
  → Efficiency frontier is the right framing
