Abstract :
This paper presents a real world case of implementing a sensor network for fulfilling the requirements of gas meter application. We propose a hierarchical network, which includes the functionalities such as receiving, transmitting, routing, auto-reconfiguring, scheduling, and deep-sleeping under the stringent requirement of power consumption. We are currently conducting tests on this system and collecting problems for further improvements. This architecture is expected to meet the application requirements.
