讲解 IOT302TC Wireless Sensor Networks Coursework 2讲解 Python编程

ASSIGNMENT TASK (INDIVIDUAL WORK)

You are required to work individually to complete the assignment. There are one questions and you have to answer all of them. To complete the assessment, you need to apply the skills that you developed in the lecture and lab where you learned how to analyse the design and deployment issues of IoT radio communication systems and use the existing systems to optimise for real-life applications, understanding the fundamental operating principles of wireless communication, and the services available from different radio systems, understanding of the networking architectures and protocols applied in different radio systems.

It is strongly encouraged that you do some additional research to identify, collect, and compare further relevant information that can be incorporated into your report. When using different sources, you must ensure that they are correctly referenced, and you need to synthesise your own ideas and present them in your own words.

SUBMISSION FORMAT INSTRUCTIONS

The assignment must be typed and submitted hand-in on-site. The format of the report should follow the below structure:

•    Cover page filled in with your student ID

•    Your answer to each question

Deadline reminder: 23:59 PM China time (UTC+8 Beijing) on Sunday 14 December 2025

LEARNING OUTCOMES

This assignment tests your ability to:

A. Design communication protocols on the link and networking layers for wireless sensor networks.

B.   Show   familiarity    with   operating    systems   and    programming   languages    for   wireless    sensor nodes/networks.

C. Show familiarity with architectures, functions and performance of wireless sensor network systems and platforms.

D. Design and analyse the specific requirements for applications in wireless sensor networks regarding energy supply, memory, processing and transmission capacity, etc.

E.Program wireless sensor networks/nodes.

F. Develop wireless sensor network applications.

MARKING CRITERIA

The following criteria will be used to assess the assignment. This report is marked for the whole group.

Outstanding:  Report  format  is  consistent  throughout  including  heading  styles,  fonts,  and  margins, figure/table/diagram are correctly labelled, effectively interpreted and discussed, writing flows smoothly from one idea to another, information is presented in logical and interesting way, all information is located in the appropriate section, calculation process is clearly presented before arriving to the final answer or conclusion.

Appropriate:  Report  format  is  generally  consistent,  figure/table/diagram  are   properly  interpreted, sentences are structured and word are chosen to communicate ideas clearly, information is presented in logical  manner,  information  is  located  in  the   appropriate  section,  calculation  process  is  properly presented before arriving to the final answer or conclusion.

Needs  Improvement:  Report  format  is  inconsistent, figure/table/diagram  are  poorly  interpreted  and discussed, sentence structure and/or word choice sometimes interfere with clarity, information is hard to follow as there is very little continuity, many items are in the wrong section, some steps or procedures are missing before arriving to the final answer or conclusion.

Hard  to  Understand:   Report  format  is  inconsistent,  figure/table/diagram  are   not  used  effectively, sentence structure and word choice make reading and understanding difficult, sequence of information is difficult to follow, lack of appropriate sections and many items are in the wrong section, some steps or procedures are missing in the calculation process, the final answer and/or conclusion are incorrect.

No submission or Missing Section: No submission or missing section of the discussion in the report.

The  following  table  indicates  what  is  expected  for  each  classification  category,  highlighting  generic marking criteria that bring together expectations in performance for each percentage (or alphabetical) band and the criteria that need to be satisfied.

Question 1                                                                                        (100 marks)

Low-altitude wireless sensor networks (LA-WSNs) deploy sensor nodes on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or ground infrastructure below 500m altitude. These systems enable critical applications  like  wildfire  monitoring,  precision   agriculture,  and  disaster  response.  Unique challenges include 3D dynamic topologies, energy-constrained mobile nodes, variable link quality, and real-time data processing. This assignment requires designing an integrated LA-WSN solution addressing protocol design, software implementation, system architecture, resource constraints, and application development.

This coursework requires designing and simulating an LA-WSN, such as traffic monitoring, wildfire detection, in an urban area. Your solution must integrate all six learning outcomes (A-F) in a research paper (3,000 - 4000 words) and Python simulation.
