Active Tapes: Bus-Based Sensor Networks
Overview The work discussed in this paper presents Active Tapes, a bus organization for sensor networks. The authors construct simple cost models to compare active tapes against more traditional wireless sensor networks. The models show that density, lifetime, and power consumption play significant roles in determining overall deployment and maintenance cost. The authors then characterize regimes where tapes are always cost effective, sometimes cost effective, and never cost effective. The paper then describes three real-world applications using the models. Next, the paper presents an initial implementation of an active tape for power distribution and networking.
