LiveNode: LIMOS versatile embedded wireless sensor node

Nowadays, many wireless sensor nodes having approximately the same features are implemented to support both research and industrial deployments. However, all these wireless sensor nodes have limited capacity and are only adapted to implement simple wireless sensors: temperature sensor, tilt/vibration sensor, sound sensor The domain of wireless sensor applications are huge and many problems are still opened and unsolved. Thus to enlarge the application areas, we propose a versatile wireless sensor node named LiveNode, which enables to implement rapidly a prototype for different domains of applications such as telemedicine (wireless cardiac arrhythmias detection sensor), inter-vehicle communication, environmental data collection etc. We describe the key features of LiveNode and its platform: LivePlatform. We present an industrial project (MobiPlus) using LiveNode. Finally, the results of the application and the ongoing work will be presented.
