  The core motivations of deploying a sensor network for a specific application
come from the autonomy of sensors, their reduced size, and their capabilities
for computing and communicating in a short range. However, many challenges for
sensor networks still exist: minimizing energy consumption, and ensuring the
performance of communication that may be affected by many parameters. The work
described in this paper covers mainly the analysis of the impact of the
temperature and humidity variations on link quality of XM1000 operating under
TinyOS. Two-way ANOVA test has been applied and the obtained results show that
both the temperature and humidity variations impact RSSI.
