Center for Embedded Network Sensing

We will provide TDMA-based state-synchronization service that will provide low latency and high reliability. Our TDMA service will be built on top of the existing MAC found in the radios for Aensbox. We will provide deployment tools, which will enable the deployer to gauge the quality of the deployed network. Our tools will use above mentioned efficient and reliable state-synchronization service and will work without assuming any end-to-end routing service. We will provide system software for Aensbox, which a multi-processor and multi-radio platform. The desired system software must utilize dual processor and radio depending upon the energy consumption of the operation, e.g. a continuous battery monitoring operation can be delegated to a low power processor (MSP), while analysis of a large data-set will be done by high power processor (XScale). Although, comprehensive evaluation of the entire system can be done only at the real scale, it is necessary to gain confidence at early stages of development where real deployment is not possible.
