Analysis of a Real Multi-hop Sensor Network Deployment: The Heathland Experiment
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper reports on the results and experience gained during a real-world deployment of a sensor network based on the ESB platform in the heathlands of Northern Germany. The goal of the experiment was to gain a deeper insight into the problems of real deployments as opposed to simulated networks. The focus of the experiment was on the longand short-term reliability of radio links, estimation of link qualities, the influence of the link quality on multi-hop routing, and on neighborhood exploration.

متن کاملA multi-hop PSO based localization algorithm for wireless sensor networks
A sensor network consists of a large number of sensor nodes that are distributed in a large geographic environment to collect data. Localization is one of the key issues in wireless sensor network researches because it is important to determine the location of an event. On the other side, finding the location of a wireless sensor node by the Global Positioning System (GPS) is not appropriate du...
متن کاملWireless sensor network design through genetic algorithm
In this paper, we study WSN design, as a multi-objective optimization problem using GA technique. We study the effects of GA parameters including population size, selection and crossover method and mutation probability on the design. Choosing suitable parameters is a trade-off between different network criteria and characteristics. Type of deployment, effect of network size, radio communication...
متن کاملExperiences from two sensor network deployments - self-configuration a key to success
Various experiments have shown that the performance of wireless sensor networks is very hard to predict. It is also acknowledged that deploying sensor networks in real settings is a difficult and tedious task. To contribute to the understanding of wireless sensor network behavior we report on our experience from two recently deployed sensor networks: one in-door surveillance network in a factor...
متن کاملQuasi Random Deployment Strategy for Reliable Communication Backbones in Wireless Sensor Networks
Topology construction and topology maintenance are significant sub-problems of topology control. Spanning tree based algorithms for topology control are basically transmission range based type construction algorithms. The construction of an effective backbone, however, is indirectly related to the placement of nodes. Also, the dependence of network reliability on the communication path undertak...
