Why are long-term large-scale wireless sensor networks difficult
Yuan He, Lufeng Mo, Yunhao Liu · ACM SIGMOBILE Mobile Computing and Communications Review · 2010
Wireless sensor networks in the past decade have achieved remarkable progress, while the real applications are still far from being long-term or large-scale. This paper presents GreenOrbs [1], the latest effort to explore the fundamental challenges of long-term large-scale wireless sensor networks. GreenOrbs supports a series of forestry applications. Based on the early experience with GreenOrbs, this paper further discusses the future research directions.
