Abstract

Reprogramming sensor nodes is an effective way of improving wireless sensor networks. The latest reprogramming protocols use radio communication to distribute software data. Although several base stations are optimally placed to disseminate software rapidly in large-scale sensor networks, the performance of reprogramming protocols for multi-base station environments has not been discussed. This paper discusses our evaluation of the features of software dissemination by multi-base station sensor networks. Simulations revealed that the placement and number of base stations were the key parameters in software dissemination.
