An empirical analysis of communication links in embedded wireless networks
Pages 185 - 190
Abstract
Embedded wireless networks have been widely used, from social networking to disaster response. Despite their increasing application, developers still face many challenges. One of the most significant is ensuring reliable communication between communicating devices. In this paper, we present an empirical examination of some of the key factors that affect the quality of wireless links in outdoor environments. Specifically, we study the effects of height differences between devices, device orientation, and data transmission rate on communication quality.
