Abstract
If sensor networks are sparsely populated, the installation and the investment for central nodes, like data collectors or gateways, is always a challenge. Collection of data from more sensors than in the direct vicinity can help to alleviate this problem. The basic modes of Wireless M-Bus protocol, which is one of the major contenders for local metrology networks (LMN) in Europe, supports only single-hop star topologies. The Q-mode adds algorithms for routing and for time synchronization. This paper reports on a Work-in-Progress implementation of Wireless M-Bus Q-mode in a model based way employing the real-time operating system TinyOS. Therefore algorithms, management techniques and tools for its use in sparsely populated large-scale smart-metering installations are highlighted.
