无线传感器网络（WSNs）是一种多功能的监控系统，可以在有线基础设施不适用或昂贵的情况下提供大量的实时数据。这项技术预计将由领域专家处理，他们认为WSN是一个（有望）易于部署的黑匣子。这项工作提出了一个无线传感器网络的部署经验，由领域专家进行，在地面改善领域。在现有解决方案的基础上，安装了一个燃料电池供电的网关和21个测量加速度、倾斜度、温度和气压的传感器设备，以监测地面沉降。我们报告如何差的GSM服务，故障硬件，未知的通信模式和模糊的专有软件需要在现场特设的解决方案。通过吸取经验教训，我们期待着研究如何使部署这些系统成为一项更容易的任务。
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are versatile monitoring systems that can provide a large amount of real-time data in scenarios where wired infrastructures are inapplicable or expensive. This technology is expected to be handled by domain experts, who perceive a WSN as a (promised to be) easy to deploy black box. This work presents the deployment experience of a WSN, as conducted by domain experts, in a ground improvement area. Building upon off-the-shelf solutions, a fuel cell powered gateway and 21 sensor devices measuring acceleration, inclination, temperature and barometric pressure were installed to monitor ground subsidence. We report about how poor GSM service, malfunctioning hardware, unknown communication patterns and obscure proprietary software required in-field ad-hoc solutions. Through the lessons learned, we look forward to investigating how to make the deployment of these systems an easier task.
