Exploring mobility of IR-UWB based WSN

In this paper we propose an architecture for a real time health-monitoring system based on Impulse Radio Ultra Wide Band Mobile Wireless Sensor Network (IR-UWB MWSN). It specifically targets health-monitoring for racing animals such as horses, dogs, and camels during races. We present the advantages and status of WSN based on IR-UWB technology. A simulation of a case study on a circular racing track has been performed to explore the feasibility of such a system under MiXim platform where we developed our own class “PureAlohaMacLayer” to implement the ALOHA MAC protocol.
