Resumen
In this paper, the influence of topology and morphology of a particularly

In this paper, the influence of topology and morphology of a particularly
complex scenario for the deployment of ZigBee wireless sensor networks is analyzed.
This complex scenario is a car. The existence of loss mechanisms such as material
absorption (seats, dashboard, etc.) and strong multipath components due to the great
number of obstacles and the metallic environment (bodywork), as well as the growing
demand for wireless systems within a vehicle emphasizes the importance of the
configuration of the heterogeneous intra-car wireless systems. Measurement results
as well as simulation results by means of an in-house 3D ray launching algorithm
illustrate the strong influence of this complex scenario in the overall performance of
the intra-car wireless sensor network. Results also show that ZigBee is a viable
technology for successfully deploying intra-car wireless sensor networks. [--]
