Performance Evaluation of Wireless Transmissions in an Amazonian Climate
Thienne M. Johnson, Mauro Margalho Coutinho · 2007
This paper presents the INFOCLIMA project, which aims to study wireless transmissions in the Brazilian Amazon. The simulation results are useful for our initial research, showing that data transmissions over a long range wireless link in Amazonian climate adversely affects the network performance. Therefore, environmental monitoring projects should pay special attention to the probability of data loss; since, for this application, delay and throughput do not much affect the monitoring application.
