Inicio network design for data transmission of weather sensors

Abstract

To acquire information from the environment in a large area of the south PROMAS1 has deployed weather sensors in a large area to acquire information from the environment, which must be collected from the remote locations and transferred to data center? Currently, the data collection is done manually, which means that PROMAS staff needs to go to the actual sensor location and download the data, which involves time invested and recurring costs for them. Therefore, in this work, a network design to automate the data collection and transfer is proposed. The goal is to get data with the lowest possible latency, so data is available as soon as information is generated. The proposed network transfers data using the standard IEEE 802.11 or IEEE 802.15.4, which involve the analysis of three fundamental parameters as distance, energy and deployment cost.
