Multi-Mode Linear Wireless Sensor Networks: Design, Implementation and Evaluation

In this project, we will design a set of communication protocols dedicated for linear wireless sensor networks, which have promising applications in the real world for environment and infrastructure monitoring. The protocols will be implemented and evaluated by using the multimode, enhanced wireless senor nodes developed in the host academic supervisor’s lab. With the objectives of the project successfully accomplished, the applicant will improve his research work by obtaining more insights into the protocol design and performance evaluation for sensor networks based on the realistic test-bed implementation, as well as more knowledge and experience for realizing a wireless communication system. The built test-bed platform can be reused in the following research work, which can benefit the researchers in both the applicant’s lab and the host academic supervisor’s lab. In addition, it will greatly enhance the international cooperation between the two labs with the cooperation platform established in this project.
