Recent advances in integrated circuit technology have enabled construction of far more

systems. Future applications of distributed embedded processors and sensors will require
massive numbers of devices. In this paper we have concentrated in the most important
application,BorderSecurity.

2EXISTINGBORDERPATROLTECHNIQUES
Borderpatrolhasextensivelybeenbasedonhumaninvolvement.However,therelativecostfor
the increasing number of personnel as well as the diminishing accuracy through humanonly
surveillancehasrequiredtheinvolvementofhightechdevicesinborderpatrol.Amongthese,
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) for aerial surveillance have recently been used to
automaticallydetectandtrackillegalbordercrossing.Duetothelargecoverageandhighmobility
oftheUAVs,theintensivehumaninvolvementinlowlevelsurveillanceactivitiescanbereduced.
However,similartotheConventionalborderpatrolsystems,UAVsalonecannotcoverthewhole
borderatanytime.Moreover,theUAVshavesignificantlyhighercostsandaccidentratesthan
thoseofmannedaircraftsandrequirelargehumanfootprinttocontroltheiractivities.Inaddition,

Incontrasttoconventionalwirelessnetworks,theWINSnetworkmustsupportlargenumbers
ofsensorsinalocalareawithshortrangeandlowaveragebitratecommunication(lessthan1
100 kbps). The network design must consider the requirement to service dense sensor
distributionswithanemphasisonrecoveringenvironmentinformation.Weexploitthesmall
separation between WINS nodes to provide multi hop communication, with the power
advantages outlined earlier. Since for short hops the transceiver power consumption for
receptionisnearlyequaltothatoftransmission,theprotocolshouldbedesignedsothatradios
areoffasmuchofthetimeaspossible.Thatis,theMACshouldincludesomevariantof
TDMA.Thisrequiresthattheradiosperiodicallyexchangeshortmessagestomaintainlocal
synchronism.Theabundantbandwidththatresultsfromthespatialreuseoffrequenciesand
local processing ensures that relatively few conflicts will result in these requests, and so
simplemechanismscanbeused.Alowpowerprotocolsuitethatembodiestheseprinciples
has been developed, including bootup, MAC, energyaware routing, and interaction with
mobileunits.Itindicatesthefeasibilityofachievingdistributedlowpoweroperationinaflat
