Optimal topologies of Wireless Sensor Networks in nonstandard environments

In the work should be developed the methodology to determine the optimal topology of wireless sensor networks WSN (Wireless Sensor Network) in non-standard environments. As an example of such environment is the interior of space rocket, airplane or train. These environments are characterized by large ratio of its length to diameter of cross section. Additionally their platting describes the boundary condition for electromagnetic wave propagation in the form of conducting walls (Faraday’s cage).

The study should consider situations where, in general, the majority of network nodes (sensors) are not connected directly to the recording center only by the intermediate nodes (sensors). Due to energy savings some nodes can be off and the other can be damaged. The designed net must be able to reconfigure automatically to have a possibility to record the states of the greatest number of nodes.

The developed methodology will be used to build a real WSN, which will be tested in flight of test rocket to an altitude of up to 10 km.
