Reliability and Stability
From Capsil Wiki
A major challenge with wireless sensor networks in general to date is how to ensure that communications is reliable and robust. Issues such as number of network nodes, battery power, communications protocol used, physical motion of the nodes, operating environment, network to human interface etc, all pose a challenge for these networks and variations in any of these parameters can mean that the network can fail completely. For body sensing where healthcare monitoring is crucial, obviously the network can not be so susceptible to failure and must be very robust. This section will detail some examples of systems that have demonstrated these principles.
