Introduction

If mobile phones are capable of communicating with WSNs, they can be used to harvest sensor data which they can (maybe at a later time) upload to remote users. Moving basestations causes problems for routing protocols, which often assume a stationary network topology.

Task

The contiki OS include uAODV, netflood etc. which are multihop WSN protocols. We do not know how these protocols behave when the basestation is moving through a WSN deployment. To learn this, the Sensei-UU WSN testbed can be used. The testbed includes a robot that can repeat the same mobility pattern with high accuracy. The goal of this project is to measure protocol performance with a mobile bassestation. To see the system in action, watch http://user.it.uu.se/~olofr/wisenet_nxt.avi
