Study of transmission parameters under controlled multipath environment using Rasp Pi3

The evaluation of QoS in mobile multipath environments is an interesting topic in modern communications. The use of Raspberry Pi as a low cost microcomputer board developed in the United Kingdom by the Raspberry Pi Foundation can be helpful in onsite deployments. The Pi3 model has integrated WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity and also 4 USB ports to expand the device with all kinds of peripheral. Under the premise of offering the power of a computer at low prices, this device is one of the most affordable ways to have a particularly efficient and dynamic hardware accessible at a low price to develop a Wireless Sensor Netwok (WSN). The use of the Raspberry Pi3 permits the development of a powerful and hight efficient mote in the development of a WSN, where data is highly processed in each mote and transmissions between motes and the sink or base station (BS) can be keep at minimum. We develop an experimental setup to analyse the quality of transmission between these devices in order to a further modelization of the channel. We program the Raspberry Pi3 to evaluate the quality of the transmission between two devices within a controlled multipath environment, particularly within an anechoic chamber.
