Abstract
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have an enormous potential for investigating oceanographic problems such as the impact of industrial, touristic and commercial activities in coastal areas, among others. However, ocean waves, fog, humidity and other environmental conditions make difficult communication between nodes. This paper presents an evaluation on-site of the performance of an IEEE 802.15.4 WSN. In particular, received signal strength indication, throughput, round trip delay time and the rate of efficiency are evaluated. Different settings were tested and results shown which settings performed better on these environments.
Highlights
Marine environment monitoring has become of great interest among different research groups worldwide
Technological advances make possible design of Ocean Observing Systems (OOS) far less complex in terms of the number and type of components utilized, more flexible, easier to configure and deploy. Examples of such systems are those based on wireless sensor networks (WSN) [3]-[7]
This paper presents preliminary results of an on-site evaluation of the IEEE 802.15.4 standard for communicating nodes within a coastal area
Summary
Marine environment monitoring has become of great interest among different research groups worldwide. Depending on its objective an OOS can be composed of different components and utilize diverse architectures [3]. Examples of these components include surface buoys, gliders, autonomous underwater vehicles, coastal radars, marine sensors, ships, autonomous aerial vehicles and satellites. Technological advances make possible design of OOS far less complex in terms of the number and type of components utilized, more flexible, easier to configure and deploy. Examples of such systems are those based on wireless sensor networks (WSN) [3]-[7]. This paper presents preliminary results of an on-site evaluation of the IEEE 802.15.4 standard for communicating nodes within a coastal area
