| Sumario: | Sensor network technology is considered as one of the key technologies for the 21st century. Wireless sensor networks have emerged as an important area for research and development. Their impact is predicted to be far-reaching, and they are attracting a great interest in many applications from remote monitoring of environment, habitat, agriculture, military applications, health care, automation, dangerous areas, and disaster prone zones, among many others. Through advances in sensor, networking, semiconductor and energy storage technologies, future Wireless Sensor Networks will combine to form the nervous system of the Internet of Things. In these networks, the nodes are typically operated by battery power, making energy consumption a very important fact to increase the network lifetime. The large number of sensor nodes involved in such networks and the need to operate over a long period of time require careful management of the energy resources. The goal of this project is to design and implement a wireless sensor network, using an Arduino board and a Xbee module, to measure a single (or multiple) variable such as temperature, ensuring communication between nodes, as well as designing a power stage for the nodes. The document will first make a review of current wireless technologies, then it will study the available hardware and software to implement and finally it will propose and develop a solution to achieve the mentioned objective. |
