Interconnecting zigbee and bluetooth networks with BLupZi

In this paper, a ZigBee-based wireless sensor network is proposed. It employs star topology. To reduce the power consumption of each sensor node and meanwhile to lengthen its life-span, we use the STOP mode, only a very low power transmitter is used to ...

The current generation of sensor nodes rely on commodity components. The choice of the radio is particularly important as it impacts not only energy consumption but also software design (e.g., network self-assembly, multihop routing and in-network ...

Wireless sensor networks consist of several hundredths of simple sensing devices, equipped with a radio. They are typically used for monitoring and automation purposes of large areas. Due to their simplicity, these networks quickly run out of energy, ...
