Design and Implementation of a Scattered Wireless Spectrum Sensor Network System

Abstract

With the increasing shortage of wireless spectrum resources, it is urgent to monitor and utilize the limited wireless spectrum resources rationally. In this paper, a scattered wireless spectrum sensor network system is proposed and applied to electromagnetic spectrum monitoring in a city environment. We design a wireless spectrum sensor node and wireless spectrum sensor network, then develop a city wireless spectrum monitoring software system. We describe the network architecture and software design process in detail and then design several experiments to test the system. The results show that our system can satisfy the electromagnetic spectrum environment monitor requirements.
