Well, I was studying some of them for a while, and now I will try to implement one. But I have some doubts, they are not exactly tinyOS nor NS doubts, but I hope someone can help me.
It's like the following : I am going to implement a cluster-based routing protocol for WSN, thus, before the effective routing, clusters must be formed, on a first stage. After that, intra/inter-cluster communications would be taken care of. In the simulation, everything works fine because all the nodes are switched on at the exact same time, so I don't have to worry about possible delays between each initialization. However, for experimental purposes I have a problem: It is impossible to have all of them powered on simultaneously. I would like to know if anyone is familiarized with the implementations of such protocols, and could give "hints" on how to solve this practical "problem". I thought about having another kind of sensor-node, which would broadcast a initialization message, telling all the other nodes that everything is alright (this node would be powered on only after all the others have been correctly placed). However, all sensor nodes would have to be within this another sensor's communication range, in order to make it work. Seems to be a cheesy solution. Thanks in advance, Fernando. _______________________________________________ Tinyos-help mailing list [email protected] https://www.millennium.berkeley.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tinyos-help
