Experimentation for Packet Loss on MSP430 and nRF24L01 Based Wireless Sensor Network

Abstract

In this paper,a new design of wireless sensor network (WSN)node is discussed which is based on components with ultra low power.We ha e de eloped a Low cost and low power WSN Node using MSP430 and nRF24L01.The architectural circuit details are presented.This architecture fulfils the requirements like low cost,low power,compact size and self organization.Various tests are carried out to test the performance of the nRF24L01 module.The packet loss,free Space loss (FSL)and battery lifetime calculations are described.These test results will help the researchers to build new applications using abo e node and to work efficiently with nRF24L01.
