Multi-Carrier CDMA MIMO in Arrayed Wireless Sensor Networks

Arrayed wireless sensor networks are a novel type of wireless sensor networks involving a very large number of wireless nodes that are randomly distributed in a 3-dimensional space at unknown locations and are used for monitoring events of interest. When such events occur, some nodes are automatically self organized and grouped together to form wireless arrays of suitable, although random, geometries and then an ad-hoc wireless network of arrays operating in an infrastructureless environment. This paper focuses on the communication links involved in the operation of the arrayed wireless sensor network based on a multicarrier CDMA MIMO architecture
