Sensor Application Platform on a Novel Managed Wireless Mesh

Abstract

We propose a sensor application platform using a managed wireless mesh network for providing a variety of services that are demanded by individuals living in a local region and various communities to which each individual belongs and that conventional telecom networks or sensor networks are not able to provide at a reasonable cost. The proposed system, which is based on openness, establishes logical paths with a many-to-many mesh topology on a physical wireless mesh network, providing logically different service domains. This makes a variety of sensor applications/services available on a single platform. Mechanisms of the platform and operation models of the platform are presented.
