A 21-node low-power wireless mesh network is deployed in a peach orchard. The network serves as a frost event prediction system. On top of sensor values, devices also report network statistics. In 3 months of operations, the network has produced over 4 million temperature values, and over 350,000 network statistics. This paper presents an in-depth analysis of the statistics, in order to precisely understand the performance of the network. Nodes in the network exhibit an expected lifetime between
Abstract. Interoperability and conformance testing are needed to ensure that systems behave as specified by the standards they implement. Today, interoperability testing is done through face-to-face "interop events". Requiring physical presence of all parties impacts the scalability of the testing, and slows down the development of standards-based products. F-Interop is a platform which enables remote interoperability and conformance testing of networking standards. This paper gives a technical overview of the project and its software architecture. The architecture follows the event bus design pattern: generic messages are routed between the different software components, some of these running at different locations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
