surge apllicationA common application of sensor networks is to sample a sensor

periodically (e.g., light or temperature) and report readings to a

base station, which is typically a node with a wired network

connection and power source.

 Surge motes organize themselves into a spanning tree rooted at

the base station. Each mote maintains the address of its parent

and its depth in the tree, advertising its depth in each radio

message (either sensor sample or forwarded message) that it

transmits.-surge apllicationA common application of sensor networks is to sample a sensor
