| Abstract | Communicating with sensors has long been limited either to wired connections or to proprietary wireless communication protocols. Using a ubiquitous and inexpensive wireless communication technology to create Sensor Networks will accelerate the extensive deployment of sensor technology. Ultra Wide Band (UWB), an emerging, worldwide standard for low power, high throughput local wireless communication is a viable choice for sensor networks because of its inherent support for some of the important requirements throughput governed adaptive communication range, low power, low cost and small form factor. In this work in progress paper we outline an approach, centered on the UWB technology, to support a sensor network composed of fixed wireless sensors for health monitoring of highways, bridges and other civil infrastructures. We present a topology formation and a media access control scheme coupled with a mechanism for data aggregation to collect the sensor data. |
