Safe Delivery of Sensed Data in Wireless Sensor Networks for Gas Leak Detection: a Boiler Facility Scenario☆

Abstract In this work we share our experience in the deployment of a Wireless Gas Sensor Network (WGSN) in an operational boiler facility. Our setup is based on a state-of-the-art WGSN platform which ensures reliable gas detection and long–term operation of the network. We first describe the deployment of the network and then evaluate its wireless links using Received Signal Strenght Indicator (RSSI) and Link Quality Indicator (LQI) metrics.
