FIRE RoadmapSmartSantander: DO-RE-MI use case
Challenge:
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are an innovative new form of experimental test facility, allowing research and experimentation on new architectures, services and applications for the Internet of Things (IoT). However, in order to configure different kinds of experiments and provide the new functionalities and thresholds needed to fulfill service profiles, WSN node clusters need to be regularly reprogrammed. This reprogramming, known as MOTAP (Multihop Over-the-Air Programming), imposes some challenges - particularly when a large number of nodes are involved. Often, each node is affected by different end-to-end communication conditions, and therefore a different packet error rate. Traditional coding schemes used for reprogramming are unable to meet the different requirements of each node, making the process inefficient, leading to energy limitations (limited battery duration) and bandwidth constraints.

SmartSantander: Environmental sensor network in the Spanish city of Santander
SmartSantander proposes a unique in the world city-scale experimental research facility in support of typical applications and services for a smart city. This unique experimental facility will be sufficiently large, open and flexible to enable horizontal and vertical federation with other experimental facilities and stimulates development of new applications by users of various types including experimental advanced research on IoT technologies and realistic assessment of users’ acceptability tests. The facility will comprise more than 20,000 sensors and will be based on a real life IoT deployment in an urban setting. The core of the facility will be located in the city of Santander, the capital of the region of Cantabria situated on the north coast of Spain, and its surroundings. SmartSantander will enable the Future Internet of Things to become a reality
