CS344A: Sensor Network Systems

In this assigment, you'll get up to speed using TinyOS and Telos motes by writing a simple low-power neighbor discovery protocol. You can either come up with your own algorithm or use one from the literature.

A 2-3 page description of your proposed final project. It should include a clear statement of what problem you are tackling, how, and how it stands with respect to prior work. Projects should be in groups of 2 or 3 people.

In this assigment, you'll gain experience with the issues and complexities of low-power wireless by writing a reliable transport protocol. There will be a competition on whose protocol provides the best power/speed tradeoff.

Your final project group will give a presentation in class, describing your goals and work so far. Class feedback is encouraged. Presentations should be 4 slides:

1. Title slide with group member names
2. Problem statement
3. Proposed approach
4. Proposed evaluation

Your final project group will present a poster at a small poster session, describing the results of its work.
