Sensor emulation using mote networks

摘要

A method may include and/or involve collecting readings from a number of mote sensors of a mote network, the mote sensors at a number of mote sensor locations, and emulating, as a source or sources of the readings, a number of sensors at a number of sensor locations.

1. A method comprising:
collecting one or more readings from a number of mote sensors of a mote network, the number of mote sensors at a number of mote sensor locations; emulating, as a source or sources of the one or more readings, a number of sensors, including using the collected one or more readings to determine one or more derived values having an accuracy that is greater than at least some of the collected one or more readings from the number of mote sensors; and refining a selection of at least one of the mote sensors of the mote network based at least partially on the emulating, wherein the refining a selection of at least one of the mote sensors of the mote network includes at least using one or more portions of the mote network to: a) observe at least one of a behavior or a characteristic of at least one of the number of sensors in order to improve emulation of at least one of a behavior or a characteristic of a number of the mote sensors, and b) at least refine a selection of at least one of the mote sensors, a number of mote sensors, one or more mote sensor locations, or a number of mote sensor locations in order to improve emulation of at least one of a behavior or a characteristic of a number of the mote sensors.
