QoS and network performance metrics.

Metric	Unit	Description
Received data throughput	Bytes/seconds	The amount of data received by the final destination
Average maximum throughput	Bytes/seconds	The average of maximum throughput captured at the final destination when running the same scenario for more than one time
Water quality level detection time	Seconds	Delay introduced by the time needed to measure amounts of data readings for determining a specific water quality level
Average residual power per sensor	Watt	The average amount of measured residual power at sensors after running the simulation scenario and forwarding data
