Simulation of an Early Warning Fire System

, 2019
In this paper, we will be using separate software tools (wireless network and Finite Differences Time Domain based simulators) to simulate the implementation of a wireless sensor network model based on low-rate/power transmission technology. The system operates in an unlicensed frequency range and the sensing nodes rely on surface plasmon resonance ...
