Overview
|
|
Within the framework of the PLATON (PLAnning
Tool for the ConnecTivity
in Wireless SensOr Networks) project, AWE
Communications develops a software package for the analysis of
wireless sensor and MESH networks.
|
 |
__
|
PLATON is
scheduled for 24 months, starting at Jan 01, 2009. The
project is co-funded by the BMBF
(German Federal Ministry of Research) within the KMU-Innovationsoffensive. |

|
The HTW Dresden
(University of Applied Sciences in Dresden, Germany) will contribute
measurements in rural and indoor sensor networks for the optimization of the accuracy of
the new propagation models.

Contributions
of AWE Communications to PLATON
|
|
The
contributions of AWE Communications in the framework of PLATON are:
-
Specification
of a simulator for MESH networks
-
Development
of new wave propagation models for MESH networks (in rural, urban and
indoor scenarios) and adaptation of existing models
-
Development
of an algorithm for the automatic distribution of MESH nodes in a
scenario
-
Implementation
of wave propagation models and of the
simulator for the
connectivity
-
Validation
of the new simulator with measurements

Overall Concept
|
|
In the frame of
the PLATON project, a three step concept has been developed.
The so called DPC concept is based on the following
steps:
-
STEP D: Distribution
of sensor nodes (either stochastic or deterministic,
depending on scenario and application)
-
STEP P: Path
loss computation between sensor nodes
-
STEP C: Connectivity
analysis
