Although RSS values suffer alterations from different sources, in this paper several tests are performed in order to determine them and establish the limits. A prototype was developed enabling to run the necessary field tests. Preliminary results shows that is possible to measure distance and angle based on RSS values, but some concern must be taken to enable the system operation with a reliable performance.","PeriodicalId":233914,"journal":{"name":"2013 Fourth Argentine Symposium and Conference on Embedded Systems (SASE/CASE)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130312279","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The whole system architectute, both hardware and software, is designed with a modular aproach in order to make easy the test and benchmark of different algotithms and data fusion techniques.

This study is critical to the final distribution of the sensors, with an important impact in the life of the network by reducing consumption, and on the robustness by contemplating redundancy of paths and sensors. In this paper, we present a summary of the most important aspects of a preliminary empirical study of the Link Quality Indicator (LQI), on different landscapes in the glaciers area of Patagonia Argentina. The landscapes covered varied in geographical structures with different levels of attenuation and extreme environmental conditions. Through the analysis of the Cumulative Distribution Function (CDF) of the measured LQI values, we can characterize the behavior of four different scenarios and correlate the combined effects of the environmental structure with the distance from the transmitter. The measurements performed were designed for characterizing the links at the physical layer with the purpose of defining models to estimate the Packet Error Rate (PER) for the WSN deployment stage.","PeriodicalId":233914,"journal":{"name":"2013 Fourth Argentine Symposium and Conference on Embedded Systems (SASE/CASE)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114553951","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The system is capable of recording up to 12 ksps from up to 4 channels with independent gain and a 1 Hz to 5 kHz bandwidth. The gain for each channel may vary from 2.5 kV/V to 68 kV/V, being able to adapt signals in a range of 20 μV to 1 mV, to be digitalized in a 12 bits ADC. The system consists of 2 modules, which communicate wirelessly with each other via a 915 MHz link, with Minimum-shift keying (MSK) modulation. The communication reaches 358 kbps of transmission rate, with less than 2% of packets lost without retransmissions, within a 5 meters range. One of the modules is wired to a PC via a USB cable, reaching 921.6 kbps of transmission rate through UART protocol. The wired module is powered through the USB port, whereas the wireless module is powered with 2 AAA batteries, lasting for more than 24 hours of operation. A Matlab toolbox was developed in order to facilitate the data storage, system configuration as well as collected data analysis.","PeriodicalId":233914,"journal":{"name":"2013 Fourth Argentine Symposium and Conference on Embedded Systems (SASE/CASE)","volume":"191 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121187243","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
