Abstract

Practically useful outdoor transmission ranges have been determined experimentally for Zolertia Z1 motes running Contiki. Both internal and external antennas were tested. The analog and digital quality of the received signal as well as the packet delivery rate have been measured. The influence of transmission power, bushes and weather conditions have been explored. Internal antennas were excessively sensitive to orientation, while external antennas allowed reliable and rather stable communications over distances between motes of up to 150 m. Radio duty cycling was responsible for some, still partially unexplained, packet losses.
