Wireless Sensor Network for Mobile Entities Localization People Monitor

The new developments in the communication, computation and sensing areas have been stimulating the hardware components miniaturization and optimization for the past few years. This evolution provided the ascension of wireless sensor networks (WSNs). This paper reports on our experience with the implementation and deployment of a wireless sensor network capable of monitoring mobile entities in a specific area. This project included the development of a network management application called "people monitor" and the network nodes application in order to detect the presence and absence of entities, in this case, human beings.
