Research on fiber-grating-based wireless sensor networksDOI: 10.1007/s13320-012-0007-1 Keywords: Fiber sensor,wireless sensor networks,LEACH Abstract: A 20-node fiber-grating-based wireless sensor network is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. Each sensor node is integrated with the light source, 1–3 FBG sensing probes, wavelength demodulation, and wireless communication module. Via self-organized clusters and low energy adaptive clustering hierarchy (LEACH) route protocols, the sensor nodes are able to exchange sensing data with the control center, and the maximum communication radius of a sensor node is over 170 m. The sensor node is battery-powered with a survival lifetime of up to 120 days at a network refresh rate of 5 minutes.
