Abstract (EN): The use of wireless sensor networks (WSN) to support critical monitoring applications is becoming a relevant topic of interest. These networks allow a highly flexible approach to data monitoring and, consequently, a major breakthrough for several application domains, from industrial control applications to large building domotics and health care applications. One of the major impairments of using wireless networks to support critical monitoring applications is the electromagnetic noise, which may increase the packet loss ratio to unacceptable values. In this paper, we assess different techniques of cooperative communication and network coding that can be useful to mitigate the aforementioned problem. These techniques may be implemented in WSN nodes in conformance with the IEEE 802.15.4 standard, to reduce the impact of electromagnetic interferences upon the packet loss ratio. In this paper, we report an experimental assessment of the network coding and cooperative diversity techniques, where the network is subjected to a controlled electromagnetic interference inside of an anechoic chamber. The experimental results show that, by using these techniques, it is possible to increase the success rate of communication in typical electromagnetic noisy environments.
