Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Deterioration of sewer pipes is one of the very important problems in Japan. Sewer inspections have been done by mainly visual check or wired robots. However such inspection schemes involve high labor and/or monetary cost. Sewer inspection with boat-type video cameras or unwired robots takes a long time to check the result of the inspection. To realize low cost, safe and quick inspection of sewer pipes, we have proposed a sewer inspection system using drifting wireless sensor nodes. Water, Soil, and the narrow space in the pipe makes the long range wireless communication difficult. Therefore, we have to identify suitable frequency based on wireless communication characteristics in sewer pipes. If the frequency is high, the Fresnel zone the needed space for line of sight is small, but the path loss becomes worse. On the other hand, if the frequency is low, the Fresnel zone size is large, but the path loss becomes small. We conducted wireless communication using 920MHz, 2.4GHz and 5GHz band in an experimental underground pipe. The measurement results show that the wireless communication distance of 5GHz is longer than 920MHz, 2.4GHz and is 5m with 10mW.
