! 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.  
  The network was  deployed in Claremont Canyon,

! 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

! 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.
