Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have become popular because of the availability of a variety of sensor node hardwares, each having its own unique capability. However, combining several sensor node platforms for a certain wireless sensor network application meets many difficulties such as the differences in radio frequency, network protocols and system architectures. Such WSNs are often referred to as a heterogeneous WSN. In our research, we aim to improve performance of a heterogeneous WSN deployed in indoor building environment under common sensor networking architectures by reducing the total packet transmission occurring. Our approach is to combine the existing WSN infrastructure with fNode, our implementation of a sensor node capable of forwarding packets of different communication architecture, which is used to replace the redundant nodes within the network. We have implemented and evaluated our work under a real-life indoor environment using 15 sensor nodes. Our experimental results show that fNode reduces the total packet transmission overhead, power consumption and latency within the WSN by approximately 30%. |
