This project was about recording sensor locations in wireless sensor networks. Basically the abstract of the report says it all:
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) become more and more common in our surrounding environments. The constraints caused by size and power consumption of the sensors are diminishing, as technological progress makes production of smaller and smaller sensors possible. This in turn means that sensors can be placed in, and on, things, animals and places, we would nothave thought of just yesterday.
As more sensors get placed in moving and changing environments, the need for obtaining the sensors exact position, at any give time, increases.This is done by utilizing many of today’s positioning systems, like GPS and Ubisense.
In this project a model is developed, for obtaining sensor position, from different positioning systems. The data is collected at a central storage point and can be reviewed later. A model for storing data from different systems are explored, both with regard to the storage data format, and with regard to the physical implementation of such a storage.
The model is implemented in a simple example, using GPS and an Ubisense system, to show the feasibility of such a model and design.
The report is mainly focused on studying the subject in general, and on the analysis of the problem. The design and implementation of an actual solution is only briefly covered. The source code has not been published, since it requires some restructuring to make sense.
