Abstract
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) offer numerous advantages over traditional networks, such as elimination of costly wires, enhanced monitoring precision and larger area coverage. This paper presents the design and implementation of a mine temperature monitoring based on sensor networks. For the proposed monitoring schema, we evaluated the performance and the interoperability of sensor network with various network such as IEEE 802.11g (WiFi), IEEE 802.11s (wireless mesh network) and Internet. So the ambient temperature of a mine gallery can be measured and displayed in real time no matter where we are. In addition we describe some initial results of link characteristics. We discuss on the sensor wireless link performance in terms of the received signal strength.
