| Scope of work: |
Wireless sensor networks will be widely deployed in the near future and will enable many useful telemetry related applications such as security, health monitoring, and environment protection. This senior capstone project will be focused on designing, implementing, and testing a wireless network with several sensor nodes to accomplish a simple task involving environment monitoring. The capstone project will provide support for the student team to attend the International Telemetering Conference in Las Vegas, October 2009.
Commercial off-the-shelf sensor nodes will be used and various important system and component parameters including battery life, antenna performance, transmit and receive circuits, and communication algorithms will be evaluated for various targeted applications. Students will gain hands on experience with state-of-the-art sensor network hardware and software. This project may also lead to design and implementation of improved components and algorithms for advanced sensor network systems. The final report will be edited for submission as a student paper at the International Telemetry Conference, San Diego, 2010. Student papers are eligible for a $1000 prize. This project will be co-directed by Dr. Michael Marcellin and Dr. Hao Xin of the ECE department.
