    <h1>Sensor performance in Claremont Canyon</h1>

    <p>
      This presents an outline of field experiments on a
      soft-deployment of a sensor network in the Claremont
      Canyon to collect radio communication statistics. 
      Most simulation and test environments for sensor
      networks are characterized as idealized, ease of line
      of sight, smooth terrain.
    </p>


    <p>
      Testing sensor networks in an outdoor setting has
      been attempted mostly in scenarios dealing with
      habitat monitoring and form the only precedence for any
      field testing. We attempt to use to the MICA2 platform
      and MH6 routing and topology algorithm and see how
      it performs in a typical grassland environment
      with plenty of natural barriers.
    </p>


    <p>
      The test will consist of 20 nodes spread across various
      fuel types in the environment. The metrics for observation
      are radio signal strength, and packet loss events (0, 1),
      spatial and temporal (long and short term) correlation in 
      packet loss, and measuring temperature field gradient.
      Volume of data collected should be able to let us draw
      conclusions regarding each of these metrics.
    </p>


    <p>
      Some of the questions that will need to be answered are: 
    </p>

      <ul>
	<li>How ofen does data need to be transmitted? </li>
        <li>Determine the signal strength gradient in
	  each of the vegetation types. </li>
        <li>Does, the position/orientation (in the z direction)
	  of the sensor node matter? </li>
      </ul>
