MOBILE DEVICE FOR MORE EFFICIENT DEVELOPMENT OF WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS AND THEIR NODES IN TARGET ENVIRONMENT

The offered device (27) shown in Fig.4 is based upon EDI stationary TestBed adapter architecture (fig.1) and is provided with changes (28) including mobile TestBed adapter shown in Fig.2 and allowing to develop the WSN outside of laboratory in target environment (Fig.3) of the developed WSNP. The patentable device has a portable power source (26) instead of stationary one. This gives the ability to move the TestBed node to any place that is necessary, so that WSN could be developed in targeted environment. In order to be able to use stationary TestBed functions, the Ethernet router (2) has switched to WiFi router (23). This is necessary, in order to be able to connect to TestBed VPN and use the mobile node as a standard TestBed node. As an addition to power measurements, the additional USB adapter (24) is introduced. This gives the ability to power the WSN node through the USB connector, but still allows to measure the consumed power in order to simulate battery discharge and still to communicate with the TestBed via USB standard interface. The invention improves on existing TestBed by making it mobile, which provides the ability to develop a WSN in target environment instead of just laboratory or predefined static environment. Also this gives the ability to test and develop moving WSNs like those WSNs used in smart cars.
