Overview

The goal of the research is to implement sensor networks covering aspects such as handover, multi-hop routing, positioning services, latency optimization, reduce of power consumption. These topics have been tested with different short-range radio technologies like Zigbee, WLAN IEEE 802.11 b and Bluetooth. The results of the research are applicable to both medical and industrial fields.
