Agilla 1.x Grid Topology
Since TinyOS does not provide geographic routing or location discovery, and a real multi-hop networks would require too much space, Agilla assumes a multi-hop sensor network arranged in an n x m grid. A multi-hop network is achieved by modifying TinyOS's network stack to filter out messages from non-neighbors. A node can only communicate with its immediate neighbors as specified by the grid topology. Each node is identified by its integer (x,y) location. The lower-left corner of the network is (1,1) and the x and y coordinates increase going left and up, respectively. The mote connected to the base station is at (0,0). Each node in the grid can communicate with its immediate horizontal, vertical, and diagonal neighbors, for a maximum of 8 neighbors. The base station node can communicate with any node on the first row.
Below is a 5 x 5 network:
