Position paper: cognitive radio networking for multiple sensor network interoperability in mines
BM Kagize, Stephan ten Brink · 2008
This paper proposes the use of cognitive radio technology for multiple wireless sensor technologies in mines. The work is motivated by the lack of flexible and scalable sensor networks in mines. The proposed architecture uses cognitive radio capabilities to enable several sensor network technologies to be seen as “one” network from the data-analyser’s point of view. The proposed deployment methodology would greatly ease sensor network deployment, maintenance and therefore cost.
