Impact of the Temperature and Humidity Variations on Link Quality of xm1000 Mote Sensors

摘要

The core motivations of deploying a sensor network for a specific applicationcome from the autonomy of sensors, their reduced size, and their capabilitiesfor computing and communicating in a short range. However, many challenges forsensor networks still exist: minimizing energy consumption, and ensuring theperformance of communication that may be affected by many parameters. The workdescribed in this paper covers mainly the analysis of the impact of thetemperature and humidity variations on link quality of XM1000 operating underTinyOS. Two-way ANOVA test has been applied and the obtained results show thatboth the temperature and humidity variations impact RSSI.
