Wireless sensor network is useful in a wide range of applications. Motes are used as a media for communication in wireless networks. A robust network is a stable network that can endure various noise factors present in the system. Dropped packets during mote communication are an important parameter to determine the robustness of the system. This can be further explained as properties that are insensitive to small fluctuation from the actual assumption on which they depend.
We propose mote technology as a potential source for wireless communication of medical signals in body area networks. In order to determine if the proposed system is useful, a robustness metric is developed specifically for a biosensor shirt application. The objective is to provide a tool to evaluate whether the mote hardware will deliver acceptable performance given perturbations in a wireless environment.
