contents Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are being used in various applications such as structural health monitoring and industrial control. Since energy efficiency is one of the major design factors, the existing WSNs primarily rely on low-power, low-rate wireless technologies such as 802.15.4 and Bluetooth. In this paper, we strive to tackle the challenges of developing ultra-high-rate WSNs based on 802.11 (WiFi) standard by proposing Sensifi. As an illustrative application of this system, we consider vibration test monitoring of spacecraft and identify system design requirements and challenges. Our main contributions are as follows. First, we propose packet encoding methods to reduce the overhead of assigning accurate timestamps to samples. Second, we propose energy efficiency methods to enhance the system's lifetime. Third, we reduce the overhead of processing outgoing packets through network stack to enhance sampling rate and mitigate sampling rate instability. Fourth, we study and reduce the delay of processing incoming packets through network stack to enhance the accuracy of time synchronization among nodes. Fifth, we propose a low-power node design for ultra-high-rate applications. Sixth, we use our node design to empirically evaluate the system.
