Deployment of a Wireless Sensor Network in Extremely Rough Environment

At Florida International University (FIU), Knight Foundation School of Computing and Information Sciences we developed a waterproof wireless sensor node to deploy on the surface of a rough water to monitor various parameters. The initial prototype consists of two different radios (CC2538 and cc1200), a 3D accelerometer, a 3D gyroscope, and power bank, and a waterproof marine antenna. The inertial sensors measure the movement of water, which we then correlate with the wireless link fluctuation (in terms of the change in the RSSI of the packets received by the waterproof node. The deployment tests the resilience of thew node against rough waves at Crandon Beach, Miami , Florida.
