Pervasive Wireless Device Network Applications
Basic Requirement Provide the low rate,
wireless interconnection of ultra low cost
sensor/actuator/processing devices to enable the
cyber-world to sense and affect the real physical
environment.

• Applications
• Environmental and Health Monitoring
• Home Entertainment and Toys
• Security, Location and Asset Tracking
• Emergency and Disaster Response

4
Cornerstones

• Energy Efficiency Battery Life Prioritized
  Above Data Capacity.
• Capable of Data Throughput lt 1kb/day.
• Scalable from Home Environment to Large
  Industrial Control and Monitoring Applications.
• Non-IP Addressing/Routing with IP Gateway.
• Inherent Node Location Awareness.
• Self Organizing/Configuring (rapid deployment).
• Fixed or Low Mobility Devices.
• Not Designed for Isochronous Data.
• Tolerant of Transient High Volume Data.

5
Applications Requirements

• Industrial and Environmental Control and
  Monitoring
• Reliable, distributed sensing and control with
  emphasis on energy efficiency a sensor network
  with long latency tolerance (long life span)
• Rapid Deployment with emphasis on
  self-organization, scalability and distributed
  management coping with disaster prevention,
  control, big events and exploration of unknown
  territory (short life span)
• Low Rate Consumer and SOHO Network
• Low rate control and entertainment devices a
  smaller network with low latency tolerance that
  remains energy efficient
