Abstract
Wireless Sensor Networks are popular solutions for various applications in order to reduce the efforts required by traditional cable-based systems. If the system in question is used to monitor and control physical processes, robust and reliable communication services have to be provided by the network. This is especially true for industrial or vehicular applications where the nodes are deployed in environments facing harsh propagation conditions. Usually, the effect of this on the system performance is studied on isolated layers of the OSI-reference model only. Therefore, we present results from a measurement campaign of vehicular environments that try to estimate the achievable robustness with respect to multiple OSI layers. Our results show that even if the link is rather poor, protocols on the upper layers are able to compensate this at the cost of additional delay.
