Abstract

In this paper, we describe our experiences in the design, implementation and deployment of a wireless sensor network in a petroleum facility. A heterogeneous architecture is devised using Commercial Off-the-Shelf equipment and hardware interface is designed to setup the proposed prototype in a petroleum facility. Various performance parameters such as latency and data rate are investigated. The results show that sensor networks for an industrial environment have firm requirements of latency, throughput and channel access. In addition, an analysis of environmental noise present in the plant is also presented.

Experiences from a wireless sensor network deployment in a petroleum environment

Recommendations

Planning the deployment of multiple sinks and relays in wireless sensor networks

Wireless sensor networks are subject to failures. Deployment planning should ensure that when a data sink or sensor node fails, the remaining network can still be connected, and so may require placing multiple sinks and relay nodes in addition to sensor ...
A cell-based sensor deployment strategy with improved coverage for mobility-assisted hybrid wireless sensor networks

The deployment of wireless sensor devices is one of the most fundamental and important issues in wireless sensor network applications, and coverage is a chief consideration in deployment requirements. This paper proposes a hexagonal cell-based sensor ...
Efficient deployment of wireless sensor networks targeting environment monitoring applications

Maximizing network connectivity while maintaining a useful lifetime period without exceeding cost constraints is a challenging design objective for wireless sensor networks. Satisfying such objective becomes even a more intricate task with 3-D setups ...
