In this paper, we describe a test case for indoor climate monitoring
deployed in our laboratory. The test case represents a significant
class of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) monitoring applications.
It was developed to practice with data gathering and in-network
reprogramming and to identify the basic requirements for interfacing
a WSN within Internet to enable network analysis. The system architecture
includes a WSN physically implemented with COTS (Components Off
The Shelf), a gateway device connecting the network to Internet,
and client tools running on PCs connected via Ethernet to the gateway.
The client tools allow a user to observe the WSN behavior at run
time for network debugging and to analyze the sensing data stored
in a database integrated in the gateway. The SW platform running
on sensor nodes is built on top of TinyOS, a widely used open source
operating system specifically designed for sensor network applications.
Current developments address the generalization of the test case
in order to define a library kit for fast WSN prototyping. |
