Abstract :
In this work, a real scenario where superimposed cluster architectures are formed with commercial sensors has been analyzed. Cluster architectures are widely applied to solve different networking problems like data broadcasting, data aggregation, routing and others. Simulations have been made and validate with measurements. Interference levels involving superimposed clusters have been analyzed and results show the great dependence of the network topology in the system behavior and in the overall performance of the system.
