The PicoRadio Test Bed
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we describe the architecture and use of the PicoRadio Test Bed, a general-purpose emulation platform for exploring new wireless communication technologies. It primarily supports the PicoRadio program at the Berkeley Wireless Research Center, a research facility of the University of California at Berkeley. The Test Bed provides a programmable hardware platform with basic radio connectivity, processor, and configurable logic along with a rich set of hardware abstractions and a complete programming environment for researchers wishing to explore PicoRadio network technologies in a real-world environment.

Altruists in the PicoRadio Sensor Network
Self-configuring wireless sensor networks are a fascinating emerging technology: the vision is to spread out hundreds or thousands of small, cheap, battery-driven, and self-configuring nodes bearing a wireless modem to accomplish a given task jointly. An important concern is the network lifetime: as nodes run out of power, the connectivity decreases and the network can finally be partitioned an...
متن کاملPicoRadio: Ad-hoc Wireless Networking of Ubiquitous Low-Energy Sensor/Monitor Nodes
One of the most compelling challenges of the next decade is the solution of the "last meter" problem, which extends the network into the end-user data-collection and monitoring devices. This paper discusses the challenges and opportunities of a "PicoRadio Network" that supports the assembly of an ad-hoc wireless network of meso-scale, low-cost and low-energy sensor and monitor nodes.
متن کاملPerformance Characterization and Architecture Exploration of PicoRadio Data Link Layer using VCC
PicoRadio is an ongoing project at the Berkeley Wireless Research Center that is trying to develop tiny meso-scale nodes capable of forming adhoc networks. The key challenges in the project are the small form factor and energy constraints at every node. For this, we need smart protocols that are energy efficient while meeting all requirements of the application. To test the behavior of the prot...

Back ground: Bed sore is a complication that many patients suffer from. From the duties of nurses, care is at different levels of prevention. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of massage of olive oil and sweet almonds on prevention of bed sore in patients hospitalized in ICU. Materials and methods: This study is a double-blind randomized clinical trial that was performed...
متن کاملAnalysis of Changes on Mean Particle Size in a Fluidized Bed using Vibration Signature
Vibration signals were measured in a lab-scale fluidized bed to investigate the changes in particle sizes. Experiments were carried out in the bed with a different mass fraction of coarser particles at different superficial gas velocities, and probe heights. The S-statistic test evaluates the dimensionless squared distance between two attractors reconstructed from time series of vibration signa...
