! Wireless self-organizing sensor networks are the topic of much
! current interest. One of the most difficult aspects to
! constrain with these networks is the efficacy of radio
! communications as a result of limited power. Most of the ongoing
! work in this arena has been built upon testing in relatively
unobstructed environments, such as flat outdoor areas, and large
! indoor spaces. However, more real world environments
! that comprise of man-made of natural obstructions will cause the
! existing architectures - in the way they organize, share and/or
! gather information and do routing, to not perform optimally.
- Preliminary results using 900 MHz radios indicate
- that vegetation reduces the reliability of the
- network to transmit data.
- Here, we present the results of field experiments using the
- Mica2 platfrom, an Atmel 128L microprocessor running
- the Tiny Operating System (TinyOS) with 433 MHz radio.

! Much of the previous work in this arena has in testing in relatively
unobstructed environments, such as flat outdoor areas, and large
! indoor spaces. Real world environments, however, contain natural
! obstructions such as vegetation, and may be influenced
! by the topography of a site. Here, we present the results of
! field experiments using the Mica2 platfrom, an Atmel 128L
! microprocessor running the Tiny Operating System (TinyOS)
! with 433 MHz radio, and the Dust, Inc. "blue" using a 900
! MHz radio. The statistics we are collecting include packet
! loss over distance, network initialization time and hop
! distribution.

Regional Parks system, while the lower parts are
heavily developed with single family residences
! and small retail establishments. Notably, the
! canyon is the approximate northern boundary of the
! October 20, 1991 Tunnel Fire, the worst fire in the
! United States in terms of property and lives since the
! fire following the 1906 earthquake in San Francisco.
! The fire was stopped by a change in wind direction,
! fire conditions in the canyon remain largely those of 1991.
