RatPack: Communication in a Sparse Dynamic Network

Abstract

The goal of this pro ject is to investigate the behavior of wild living rats using sensor networks. The main challenge with respect to communication is the sparse and very dynamic network determined by the burrow dwelling behavior of rats, which makes delay tolerant data transmission schemes a necessity. The physical and computional restrictions in embedded devices make routing an interesting challenge for which we are currently developing new strategies.
