Wireless in loco Sensor Data Collection and Applications
Overview Sensors, both large and small, have traditionally been used for measurement and monitoring in a number of basic applications using fixed networking infrastructure. But networking them using wireless media gives more dynamism and power: they can now be used in remote, autonomous monitoring as well as for mobile environments. Use of wireless sensors for data collection has been proposed and studied eg., for habitat, livestock, forest and infrastructure monitoring. This paper presents a study on the use of on-person wireless sensors for monitoring physiological, behavioral and health-related aspects. For communications between the sensors and the gateway the authors have chosen to use Bluetooth, for its energy-efficient short range communications capability and it common availability.
