Abstract
The concept of exploiting both the scattering properties and the absence of solar radiation in the “solar blind ultraviolet” spectral range for achieving a non-line-of-sight (NLOS) communication link for wireless sensor networks has been discussed in scientific literature. We address the issue of the multiaccess interference (MAI) that would be encountered in a simple and low-cost sensor network operating on the above NLOS principle, for different sensor node densities and traffic levels, and use a Poisson model for the sensor node distribution. A metric for evaluation and comparison of sensor node distribution scenarios is derived and used to discuss the performance limitations of NLOS wireless sensor networks operating in the solar blind ultraviolet spectrum. Guidelines for NLOS wireless sensor network design are outlined taking into consideration the cumulative effect of interference from distant sensor nodes, the expected number of hops, and the trade-off between node redundancy and node isolation. The significant contribution of network traffic control to system operability is demonstrated.
