Wireless sensor network scenario proposal for evaluating SINR in dense urban areas

Currently wireless technologies continue their huge development, especially in the field of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) due to their multiple benefits and large number of applications. WSNs share characteristics such as: tiny size, low power, low data rate, routing flexibility and low cost; some of the applications involve the medical field and the Internet of Things which gives WSNs an ubiquitous presence conveying to an unprecedented increase in the number of WSNs in the 2.4Ghz band, which in turn leads to dense wireless scenarios and severe interference problems, that deteriorate quality of service (QoS). For an adequate analysis of WSNs under APs interferences in dense urban areas, a scenario proposal is made, and several signal to interference noise ratio (SINR) tests are performed reaching some interesting conclusions that will be fundamental for this and future work.
