Initial field experiments of low-power, end-to-end reliable collection protocol for wireless sensor networks

Collecting real-world information is an important task for humanitarian applications. To alleviate this cumbersome task, we have presented Choco, a low-power, end-to-end reliable collection protocol for wireless sensor networks. Sensor nodes with Choco can construct multi-hop wireless networks without awareness of network topology thanks to simultaneous flooding, which is a recently proposed flooding scheme exploiting constructive interference phenomena. In this paper, we present two field experiments of Choco in a data center, and 400 m straight road, and show the efficiency in these fields.
