Designing and Deploying WSN Applications
Anna Förster · 2016
This chapter helps you develop a systematic approach toward designing and deploying complete wireless sensor networking applications. It provides you with the basic steps needed and discusses their properties, challenges, and advantages. Node, link, path, and global problems are general problems in wireless sensor networks (WSN). Whatever the purpose of an application or the target of a study, there are several testing methodologies applicable to WSNs. The main principle of testing and validation is to: implement the application in several steps, incrementally increasing the complexity of the testing environment. The main goal of the requirements analysis is to ensure that you understand the application, the environment in which it will be running, and expectations of the user. Finally, the chapter explores some of the most important concepts and approaches when implementing the vineyard application, including requirements analysis, top-down design process, and bottom-up implementation process.
