Data Communication Research Based on the Wireless Computing Platform Sun SPOT

In this paper, we have researched the data communication on the wireless computing platform Sun SPOT (Sun Small Programmable Object Technology). First of all, Sun SPOT will be introduced, and we mainly focus on explaining its Java virtual machine architecture and its virtual simulation platform Solarium which can be used to simulate the real Sun SPOT for running the programs; Second, we design a real communication mode on the Sun SPOTs to research the communication protocol IEEE 802.15.4 adopted on the Sun SPOT. We discuss the main process of the data communication on the SPOT and give the design idea and the code to further explain it. At last, through comparing the data we get in the simulate and real experiment, we can draw a conclusion that the data communication on the Sun SPOT is efficient and applicable.
