Wireless Sensors Network Framework for Developing Boards using Contiki Operating System

Abstract

The paper presents a framework for integrating the Analog Devices wireless sensors network (ADI-WSN) developing and evaluation boards in the WSN operating system Contiki. The proprietary software used by ADI-WSN is replaced by new proposed software with the following advantages: multitasking environment to create a flexible and more efficient applications by using the operating system primitives, active loops elimination for sensors, battery life improvements, application portability and easier ADI-WSN node connectivity with other type nodes already integrated in Contiki operating system. The obtained results show the full functionality of ADI-WSN node in Contiki environment and the extending the battery life with a factor of ten.
