Abstract :
Countries under development have recently benefited from the emergence of networked communities operating in an infrastructure poor environment. We describe a WSN protocol for monitoring quality of life in such networked communities. The protocol bridges a IEEE 802.15.4 to a IEEE 802.11 network using a presence advertising algorithm.
