The following technical report is available from

HotBox: Testing Temperature Effects in Sensor Networks
Florian Schmidt, Matteo Ceriotti, Niklas Hauser, and Klaus Wehrle
AIB 2014-14
Low-power wireless networks, especially in outside deployments, are
exposed to a wide range of temperatures. The detrimental effect of high
temperatures on communication quality is well known. To investigate
these influences under controlled conditions, we present HotBox, a
solution with the following properties: (1) It allows exposition of
sensor motes to a wide range of temperatures with a high degree of
accuracy. (2) It supports specifying exact spatial orientation of motes
which, if not ensured, interferes with repeatable experiment setups. (3)
It is reasonably easy to assemble by following the information (code,
PCB schematics, hardware list and crafting instructions) available
online, facilitating further use of the platforms by other researchers.
After presenting HotBox, we will show its performance and prove its
feasibility as evaluation platform by conducting several experiments.
These experiments additionally provide further insight into the
influence of temperature effects on communication performance in
low-power wireless networks.
