Abstract:

We have implemented a joint test-bed involving heterogeneous WSN platforms, namely Sun SPOT and XBow Telos nodes, running different applications. Combining static and mobile components, based on Lego Mindstorms robots, an opportunistic scenario has been set-up. Sun SPOT nodes run an opportunistic routing protocol while the Telos application provides low-layer information supporting SPOT-based opportunistic network analysis.
