Het SOWNet Experiment (The SOWNet Experiment)

Abstract

The Self Organising Wireless Network (SOWNet), developed by TNO, was used in a field experiment to ascertain the possible performance benefits when applied to unattended ground sensors (UGS). Detection probability, false alarm rate (FAR), and battery life-time were compared for both the conventional communications method (i.e. one-way communication) and a networked communications approach. The conclusion as a result of this experiment is that networking the UGS led to a considerable reduction in false alarms and energy consumption.
