Funded Activity Summary

Nodal Power Saving for Disconnected Ad Hoc Sensor Networks. Bushfire, age care and farming is Australia's today and tomorrow. A key aspect in bushfire control is early detection of ignitions by spreading miniature low power sensors in a large potential area in an ad hoc fashion and localizing. Response to panic alarm buttons by retirees in a retirement village where they are free to walk around while their location is monitored in real time using a wireless tag they carry to transmit data relating to their physical health(i.e blood pressure, ECG etc).
