Abstract

Reliability is one of the key issues in intra-vehicle wireless sensor networks, which is a promising research area due to the increasing demand of various safety and convenience applications in the vehicle. Most of the works about this mainly focus on wireless, sensor and computer networks. However, the reliability analysis on intra-vehicle wireless sensor networks is not similar to others because of the complex environment created by a large number of parts inside the vehicle. In this paper, we analyse the reliability for single link between a base station and a sensor node based on ZigBee standard. A robust system design can be achieved by utilizing the experimental analysis.
