Gatherer: an environmental monitoring application based on IPv6 using wireless sensor networks

2013

In this paper, we present an environmental monitoring application based on IPv6 using wireless sensor networks. We show the guidelines to connect this network to internet using the 6LowPAN standard with a real prototype in the evolution of the Internet of Things. We assign a unique IPv6 address to the different nodes motes of the network. Gatherer is based on TinyOS using IPv6 and UDP protocols and allows the data gathering of temperature and relative humidity from the different motes, requesting specific data from individual motes when required, increasing the accuracy of the measures. We compare the performance of our IPv6-based proposed application against others and show the benefits of…

Evaluation of a Real, Low Cost, Urban WSN Deployment for Accurate Environmental Monitoring

2011

There are many areas where Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) can offer innovative solutions for environmental monitoring applications and the meteorological community, but due to their complexity in terms of energy constraints and low performance devices, very few real deployments can be found. In this paper we will explain in detail the design, implementation and performance evaluation of a sparse WSN that has been working maintenance-free for over 12 months. The network has been designed for environmental monitoring purposes, and several motes, attached to lampposts, accurately measure the Temperature and Relative Humidity at various locations in a local street. Our contribution is an enhanc…

Designing an open source maintenance-free Environmental Monitoring Application for Wireless Sensor Networks

2015

We discuss the analysis and design of an Environmental Monitoring Application.The application is reliable and maintenance-free, runs in multihop wireless network.We analyze the different alternatives and tradeoffs, using open source software.The application is validated in long-term outdoor deployments with good results.Related work does not analyze the software design with open source. We discuss the entire process for the analysis and design of an Environmental Monitoring Application for Wireless Sensor Networks, using existing open source components to create the application. We provide a thorough study of the different alternatives, from the selection of the embedded operating system to…
