Wireless Sensor Networks for active control noise reduction in automotive domain

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) are nowadays widely used in monitoring and tracking applications. This paper presents the feasibility of using Wireless Sensor Networks in active control for reducing low-frequency noise inside car interiors. This work presents the design of a WSN for active control law, from global specifications to hardware architecture of node with evaluation of the network performances for two different node architectures. This design space exploration was performed by a WSN design platform named IDEA1.
