For evaluating the broadcast latency, for each sensor s, we count its distance from the source as the minimum number of times the message has be forwarded to reach s. We term the maximum among such distances as the network diameter. The network diameter depends on the maximum Euclidean distance in the deployment area (space latency) and on the inverse of the duty-cycle delay (time latency). The observed average diameter is minimum when 0.1 ≤ δ ≤ 0.2. For such values of δ, it is proved analytically that, when d = 2, the space and the time latencies are balanced. Also the energy consumption and the broadcast latency are minimum when 0.1 ≤ δ ≤ 0.2 and d = 2.
