Current work: The objective of this IRP is to provide a network level optimization of the OWIN6G hybrid WSN in terms of network protocol and topology design.  The targeted scenario include localization and environment monitoring destined for indoor settings. A scenario where sensor gateways will rely on optical cameras as both data receivers and people localization.
