Abstract
The first wave of embedded wireless sensor networks has generally been characterized by applications whose data rate requirements are quite low, usually less than tens of kilobits per second I believe that the next wave, characterized by applications in industrial process control, fabrication plants, structural health monitoring, fluid pipelining monitoring, and hydrology, will involve substantially higher data rates and will require new techniques for data delivery and for integrating computing and networking in sensor networks This talk will discuss these challenges at both the architectural and protocol levels, and suggest some research directions for the networking community Many of these issues are also applicable in the context of Internet access over wireless "mesh" networks
