Book Topology Control in Wireless Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks

Download or read book Topology Control in Wireless Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks written by Paolo Santi and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2005-08-05 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Topology control is fundamental to solving scalability and capacity problems in large-scale wireless ad hoc and sensor networks. Forthcoming wireless multi-hop networks such as ad hoc and sensor networks will allow network nodes to control the communication topology by choosing their transmitting ranges. Briefly, topology control (TC) is the art of co-ordinating nodes’ decisions regarding their transmitting ranges, to generate a network with the desired features. Building an optimized network topology helps surpass the prevalent scalability and capacity problems. Topology Control in Wireless Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks makes the case for topology control and provides an exhaustive coverage of TC techniques in wireless ad hoc and sensor networks, considering both stationary networks, to which most of the existing solutions are tailored, and mobile networks. The author introduces a new taxonomy of topology control and gives a full explication of the applications and challenges of this important topic. Topology Control in Wireless Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks: Defines topology control and explains its necessity, considering both stationary and mobile networks. Describes the most representative TC protocols and their performance. Covers the critical transmitting range for stationary and mobile networks, topology optimization problems such as energy efficiency, and distributed topology control. Discusses implementation and ‘open issues’, including realistic models and the effect of multi-hop data traffic. Presents a case study on routing protocol design, to demonstrate how TC can ease the design of cooperative routing protocols. This invaluable text will provide graduate students in Computer Science, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Applied Mathematics and Physics, researchers in the field of ad hoc networking, and professionals in wireless telecoms as well as networking system developers with a single reference resource on topology control.

Book Algorithms for Topology Aware Sensor Networks

Download or read book Algorithms for Topology Aware Sensor Networks written by Alexander Kröller and published by Cuvillier Verlag. This book was released on 2008-02-07 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Algorithmen für Topologiebewusstsein in Sensornetzen Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit algorithmischen und geometrischen Fragestellungen in Sensornetzwerken. Im Gegensatz zur klassischen Algorithmik, bei der ein einzelner Prozessor sequenziell Anweisungen abarbeitet und vollen Zugriff auf die Probleminstanz hat, werden hier verteilte Protokolle benötigt, bei denen die Knoten gemeinsam eine Aufgabe bewältigen, zu der sie allein nicht in der Lage wären. Zuerst untersuchen wir das grundlegende Problem, wie Sensorknoten ein Bewusstsein für ihre Position erlangen können. Motiviert daraus, dass das Problem, Koordinaten für ein globales Koordinatensystem zu bestimmen, in fast allen Varianten NP-schwer ist, wird ein vollkommen neuer Ansatz skizziert, bei dem das Netzwerk selbständig geometrische Cluster bildet und einen abstrakten Graphen konstruiert, der die Topologie des zugrunde liegenden Gebiets sehr genau widerspiegelt. Das sich daraus ergebende Positionsbewusstsein ist für einige Anwendungen dem klassischen euklidischen Ansatz deutlich überlegen. Der zweite Teil widmet sich einem Flussproblems für Sensornetzwerke, dass klassische dynamische Flüsse um Batteriebeschränkungen erweitert. Gesucht ist ein Fluss, der für gegebenen Zeithorizont die Datenmenge maximiert, die von einer Quelle zur Senke geschickt werden kann. Dieses Problem wird auch im zentralisierten Modell untersucht, da keine Vorarbeiten existieren. Wir beweisen Komplexitäten von Problemvarianten und entwickeln Approximationsschemata. Der dritte Teil stellt den Netzwerksimulator Shawn vor. Da der Benutzer zwischen verschiedenen geometrischen Kommunikationsmodellen wählen kann und das Speichermodell für den daraus resultierenden Graphen an den verfügbaren Speicher sowie an Simulationsparameter wie eventuell mögliche Mobilität der Knoten anpassen kann, ist Shawn hochflexibel und gleichzeitig deutlich schneller als vergleichbare Simulationsumgebungen.

Book Algorithmic Aspects of Wireless Sensor Networks

Download or read book Algorithmic Aspects of Wireless Sensor Networks written by Sotiris Nikoletseas and published by Springer. This book was released on 2004-06-22 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains the contributed papers and invited talks presented at the 1stInternationalWorkshoponAlgorithmicAspectsofWirelessSensorNetworks (ALGOSENSORS 2004), which was held July 16, 2004, in Turku, Finland, - located with the 31st International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP 2004). Wireless ad hoc sensor networks have become a very important research subject due to their potential to provide diverse services in numerous appli- tions. The realization of sensor networks requires intensive technical research and development e?orts, especially in power-aware scalable wireless ad hoc c- munications protocols, due to their unusual application requirements and severe constraints. On the other hand, a solid theoretical background seems necessary for sensor networks to achieve their full potential. It is an algorithmic challenge to achieve e?cient and robust realizations of such large, highly dynamic, complex, n- conventional networking environments. Features, including the huge number of sensor devices involved, the severe power, computational and memory limi- tions, their dense deployment and frequent failures, pose new design, analysis and implementation challenges. This event is intended to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners to present their contributions related to all aspects of wireless sensor networks. Topics of interest for ALGOSENSORS 2004 were: – Modeling of speci?c sensor networks. – Methods for ad hoc deployment. – Algorithms for sensor localization and tracking of mobile users. – Dynamic sensor networks. – Hierarchical clustering architectures. – Attribute-based named networks. – Routing: implosion issues and resource management. – Communication protocols. – Media access control in sensor networks. – Simulators for sensor networks.

Book Topology Control in Wireless Sensor Networks

Download or read book Topology Control in Wireless Sensor Networks written by Miguel A. Labrador and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-02-27 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The eld of wireless sensor networks continues to evolve and grow in both practical and research domains. More and more wireless sensor networks are being used to gather information in real life applications. It is common to see how this technology is being applied in irrigation systems, intelligent buildings, bridges, security mec- nisms,militaryoperations,transportation-relatedapplications,etc.Atthesametime, new developments in hardware, software, and communication technologies are - panding these possibilities. As in any other technology, research brings new dev- opments and re nements and continuous improvements of current approaches that push the technology even further. Looking toward the future, the technology seems even more promising in two directions. First, a few years from now more powerful wireless sensor devices will be available, and wireless sensor networks will have applicability in an endless number of scenarios, as they will be able to handle traf c loads not possible today, make more computations, store more data, and live longer because of better energy sources. Second,a few years from now, the opposite scenario might also be possible. The availability of very constrained, nanotechnology-made wireless sensor devices will bring a whole new world of applications, as they will be able to operate in - vironments and places unimaginable today. These two scenarios, at the same time, will both bring new research challenges that are always welcome to researchers.

Filling the need for a comprehensive reference on recent developments, Handbook on Theoretical and Algorithmic Aspects of Sensor, Ad Hoc Wireless, and Peer-to-Peer Networks explores two questions: What are the central technical issues in these SAP networks? What are the possible solutions/tools available to address these issues? The editor brings together information from different research disciplines to initiate a comprehensive technical discussion on theoretical and algorithmic approaches to three related fields: sensor networks, ad hoc wireless networks, and peer-to-peer networks. With chapters written by authorities from Motorola, Bell Lab, and Honeywell, the book examines the theoretical and algorithmic aspects of recent developments and highlights future research challenges. The book's coverage includes theoretical and algorithmic methods and tools such as optimization, computational geometry, graph theory, and combinatorics. Although many books have emerged recently in this area, none of them address all three fields in terms of common issues.
