Abstract
The paper describes a simple node designed to act as part of an experimental wireless mesh network. The node is based on Atmel AVR ATmega16 microcontroller and Hope Microelectronics RFM12B radio module. Along with technical details of the node, the network layer (addressing scheme and routing algorithms) is presented. Fundamental principles on wireless mesh networks are also presented. Experimental results summarize the paper and prove limited usability of the project.
