battery lifetime analysis in Fig. \[oo2\], it is evident that battery lifetime decreases in $n_1$ for $n_1\ge 3$. To conclude, we see that increase in the number of replica transmissions, i.e. $n_1$, increases both battery lifetime and reliability for $n_1\in\{1,2\}$, offers a tradeoff between battery lifetime and reliability for $n_1\in\{3,4\}$, and decreases both reliability and battery lifetime for $n\ge 5$. These results confirm importance of the derived results in this work, as they shed light to the operation point after which, it is not feasible to trade battery lifetime in hope of reliability.

Scalability analysis has been presented in Fig. \[scc\]. The analytical model of reliability has been found in as a function of: i) transmit power, ii) number of replica transmissions, iii) density of APs, and iv) bandwidth of communications. Fig. \[scc\] represents the rate at which, the amount of provisioned resources at the network-side, or energy resources at the device-side, could be scaled to comply with the increase in the level of required reliability. It is clear that transmit power of devices could be increased up to a certain level in order to combat noise. However, beyond a certain point, increase in the transmit power cannot increase the
