Network protocol and Infrastructure
For a Wireless Sensor Network
Invitation to Tender
Wireless Sensor Networks(WSN) comprise of tiny devices with a capability of sensing, communication and computation are spread over a physical environment, perhaps for a limited period, with a common objective to collaborate to provide a distributed and robust sensing, storage, and communication service. These devices can be dispersed over a hostile battlefield or harsh environment to achieve a task. Wireless sensor networks have an enormous potential impact in the future in many fields such as military, civil, health and habitat monitoring.

California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection would like to deploy a wireless sensor network on Ahjumawi Lava Springs State Park. The network will feed live data to the nearby control processing centre via a long distance wireless link.
The project is looking to deploy approximately 1500 custom built battery operated wireless sensors. The sensors must operate on a globally compatible ISM band with direct sequence spread spectrum. The sensors should have expansion connector for light, temperature, RH, Barometric, Pressure, Seismic, acoustic sensors. Battery powered WSN usually have a limited lifetime. The primary goal of this project is to come up with novel communication strategies that will maximize the lifetime of these battery operated sensors.
The project intends to share this live data with the scientific community across the globe. This will require a web server built into the design.
The scope of this project is limited to a new secure communication protocol design for WSN. For WSN you will need to specify protocols for physical, routing and MAC layer of the protocol stack. Security must be considered across the full protocol stack.
For this exercise, no cost information is required though information on power saving can be included.
