Abstract

We study the feasibility of using IEEE 802.11a/b/g in forested environments. Our particular interest is to identify potential wireless communication technologies for spanning a ground network in the woods to study the foraging and hunting behavior of bats in the wild. We are working on ultra-low power communication devices to monitor contact times and to localize bats in their natural habitat. For collecting and aggregating the received information, a stationary ground network is planned but little is known about the signal attenuation due to shadowing and fading and the resulting packet error rates in such environments. Thus, we experimentally studied selected wireless LAN technologies in an extensive set of measurements. We report our findings that also help selecting protocols and configurations in other sensor networking applications.
