Abstract. In this paper, we propose a new protocol for sensors Frequency Shift Keying data transmission named RF-Tania protocol framework. This protocol focuses on Energy Efficiency and it is based on an existent open source protocol stack. Tania protocol framework includes a set of three protocols: The Sensors Data Transmission Protocol (Tania-SDTP), the Ad-Hoc On Demand Protocol (Tania-AHOD) and the Ad-hoc Alerts Protocol (Tania-AHA), each one servicing different end user functionalities. Tania protocol is used on a specific system architecture of a crowded sensors network. Such network is composed of two different types of equipment: The measuring sensor trans-ponders and the Ad-hoc receivers. Sensor transponders are battery operated systems with installed sensors. Ad-hoc receivers are mobile phones equipped with transponders that operate as both sensor output devices as well as sensor data re-transmitters. In the case study, a test bed system architecture for monitoring CO2 and temperature levels has been used. In this study, tests of energy endurance, RF coverage and energy performance have been performed. From the evaluation results, it is proven that Tania protocol outperforms in terms of energy existing RF protocols that use periodic broadcast data transmissions.
