Abstract
A major task of wireless sensor networks
(WSNs) is to collect data under a range of ambient conditions
and with many different dynamics from a variety
of sensors which are distributed, for instance, around an
industrial plant. Focusing on real-time data collection for
control applications, we present a spatial extension to our
previously published self-organized TDMA-based WSN with
star topology implemented on low-complexity commercial
off-the-shelf hardware. Employing repeater nodes for twohop
neighbors retains both the real-time behavior and selforganization
of the initial protocol. Under ideal conditions,
the radius of the area covered by the WSN can be doubled
while the increase in power consumption due to the repeater
nodes remains moderate.
