Abstract

In this paper, we propose a new protocol for sensors Frequency Shift Keying data transmission named RF-Tania protocol and a mobile application in order to test our protocol. This protocol focuses on Energy Efficiency and it is based on an existent open source protocol stack. RF-Tania protocol is an Ad-Hoc On Demand Protocol (Tania-AHOD).

RF-Tania protocol is used on specific system architecture of a crowded sensors network. Such network is composed of two different types of equipment: The measuring sensor transponders and the Ad-hoc receivers. Sensor transponders are battery operated systems with installed sensors. Ad-hoc receivers are mobile phones equipped with transponders that operate as both sensor output devices as well as sensor data re-transmitters.

In the case study, a test bed system architecture for monitoring CO2 and temperature levels has been used. In this study, tests of energy endurance, RF coverage and energy performance have been performed.
