Download or read book Teaching Networks How to Learn written by Anna Förster and published by Sudwestdeutscher Verlag Fur Hochschulschriften AG. This book was released on 2009-08 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Routing and clustering for wireless sensor networks (WSN) play a significant role for reliable and energy efficient data dissemination. Although these research areas attract a lot of interest lately, there is still no holistic approach that is able to meet the requirements and challenges of many different applications and network scenarios, like various network sizes and topologies, multiple mobile data sinks, or node failures. The main goal of this work is to demonstrate that machine learning is a practical approach to a range of complex distributed problems in WSNs. Showing this will open up new paths for development at all levels of the communication stack. To achieve this goal we present a robust, energy-efficient, and flexible data dissemination framework consisting of the routing protocol FROMS and the clustering protocol Clique. Both are based on reinforcement learning, and exhibit vital properties such as robustness against mobility, node and link failures, fast recovery after failures, very low control overhead and a wide variety of supported network scenarios and applications. Both protocols are fully distributed and have minimal communication overhead.

Book Challenges and Opportunities of Connected K Covered Wireless Sensor Networks

Download or read book Challenges and Opportunities of Connected K Covered Wireless Sensor Networks written by Habib M. Ammari and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-08-10 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wireless sensor networks have received significant attention because of their important role and many conveniences in our lives. Indeed, the recent and fast advances in inexpensive sensor technology and wireless communications has made the design and development of large-scale wireless sensor networks cost-effective and appealing to a wide range of mission-critical situations, including civilian, natural, industrial, and military applications, such as health and environmental monitoring, seism monitoring, industrial process automation, and battlefields surveillance, respectively. A wireless sensor network consists of a large number of tiny, low-powered devices, called sensors, which are randomly or deterministically deployed in a field of interest while collaborating and coordinating for the successful accomplishment of their mission. These sensors suffer from very scarce resources and capabilities, such as bandwidth, storage, CPU, battery power (or energy), sensing, and communication, to name a few, with energy being the most critical one. The major challenge in the design process of this type of network is mainly due to the limited capabilities of the sensors, and particularly, their energy, which makes them unreliable. This book aims to develop a reader’s thorough understanding of the opportunities and challenges of k-covered wireless sensor networks, where each point in a deployment field is covered (or sensed) by at least k sensors. Following René Descartes’ most elegant methodology of dividing each difficulty into as many parts as might be possible and necessary to best solve it (Discours de la Method, 1637), this book presents a variety of theoretical studies based on percolation theory and computational geometry, as well as protocols that lead to the design of a unified framework, where connected k-coverage, sensor scheduling, and data routing and dissemination are jointly considered.

Book Efficient Multi resolution Data Dissemination in Wireless Sensor Networks

Download or read book Efficient Multi resolution Data Dissemination in Wireless Sensor Networks written by Jian Chen and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A large-scale distributed wireless sensor network is composed of a large collection of small low-power, unattended sensing devices equipped with limited memory, processors, and short-range wireless communication. The network is capable of controlling and monitoring ambient conditions, such as temperature, movement, sound, light and others, and thus enable smart environments. Energy efficient data disseminationis one of the fundamental services in large-scale wireless sensor networks. Based on the study of the data dissemination problem, we propose two efficient data dissemination schemes for two categories of applications in large-scale wireless sensor networks. In addition, our schemes provide spatial-based multi-resolution data dissemination for some applications to achieve further energy efficiency. Analysis and simulation results are given to show the performance of our schemes in comparison with current techniques.

Book Performance Evaluation of Clustering Algorithms in Wireless Sensor Networks  WSN   Energy Efficiency of S Web and LEACH

Download or read book Performance Evaluation of Clustering Algorithms in Wireless Sensor Networks WSN Energy Efficiency of S Web and LEACH written by Sahil Sholla and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2015-03-27 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2013 in the subject Computer Science - Miscellaneous, grade: -, , course: Master of Technology, language: English, abstract: Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are highly integrated technologies applying sensors, microcontrollers and wireless networks technologies. Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is a promising technology that has a large spectrum of applications such as, battlefield reconnaissance, border protection and security surveillance, preparing forecasts, severe environment detection, volcano monitoring, disaster management. WSNs operate unattended in harsh environments with limited energy supplies that can’t be practically changed or recharged. Thus energy efficiency is a critical design issue which must be addressed. Clustering plays an effective role in judicious use of dwindling energy resources of the deployed sensor nodes. Nodes are grouped into clusters and a specific designated node, called the cluster head is responsible for collecting data from the nodes in its cluster, aggregating them and sending to the BS, where data can be retrieved later. Besides energy efficiency, clustering has many other advantages like reduced routing overhead, conservation of communication bandwidth, stabilized network topology, network stability etc In this research, we study the energy efficiency of two clustering algorithms, S-Web and LEACH and compare them for network lifetime. Simulation results show that the S-Web clustering mechanism achieves a noticeable improvement in the network lifetime.

Book Reliable Bulk Data Dissemination in Sensor Networks

Download or read book Reliable Bulk Data Dissemination in Sensor Networks written by Leijun Huang and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A wireless sensor network consists of a large number of resource-constrained sensor nodes that are self-organized into a multi-hop network and cooperate on a single task. In many situations, sensor networks need to run for a long time once deployed. When the environment changes during their lifetime, updating the code image or application data at the node for a new task becomes necessary, thus making data dissemination a critical issue where a large data object needs to be reliably propagated to all of the nodes in a network. While most of the current sensor nodes are equipped with a multiple-channel radio, the existing data dissemination approaches such as Deluge [1] do not take advantage of multiple channels. Moreover, these approaches mostly focus on the object delivery latency, while energy efficiency is also very important due to the resource constraints of the sensor nodes. This dissertation proposes three novel protocols for reliable bulk data dissemination, named McTorrent, CORD and McCORD, that focus on both object delivery latency and energy efficiency. These protocols use multiple channels, or a core-based two-phase approach, or both techniques to reduce object delivery latency and energy consumption at each node. The results from experiments on both indoor and outdoor testbeds and extensive simulations in various scenarios show that these protocols significantly reduce the latency and/or energy consumption, compared to the existing approaches"--Abstract

Book Teaching Networks how to Learn  Reinforcement Learning for Data Dissemination in Wireless Sensor Networks

Download or read book Teaching Networks how to Learn Reinforcement Learning for Data Dissemination in Wireless Sensor Networks written by and published by . This book was released on with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are a fast developing research area with many new exciting applications arising, ranging from micro climate and environmental monitoring through health and structural monitoring to interplanetary communications. At the same time researchers have invested a lot of time and effort into developing high performance energy efficient and reliable communication protocols to meet the growing challenges of WSN applications and deployments. However, some major problems still remain: for example programming, planning and deploying sensor networks, energy efficient communication, and dependability under harsh environmental conditions. Routing and clustering for wireless sensor networks play a significant role for reliable and energy efficient data dissemination. Although these research areas have attracted a lot of interest lately, there is still no general holistic approach that is able to meet the requirements and challenges of many different applications and network scenarios, like various network sizes and topologies, multiple mobile data sinks, or node failures. The current state-of-the-art is rich in specialized routing and clustering protocols, which concentrate on one or a few of the above problems, but perform poorly under slightly different network conditions. The main goal of this thesis is to demonstrate that machine learning is a practical approach to a range of complex distributed problems in WSNs. Showing this will open up new paths for development at all levels of the communication stack. To achieve our goal we contribute a robust, energy-efficient, and flexible data dissemination framework consisting of a routing protocol called \froms and a clustering protocol called Clique. Both protocols are based on Q-Learning, a reinforcement learning technique, and exhibit vital properties such as robustness against mobility, node and link failures, fast recovery after failures, very low control overhead and a wide variety of supported netw.

Book Mobile  Wireless and Sensor Networks

Download or read book Mobile Wireless and Sensor Networks written by Amine Dahane and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2019-07-01 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wireless networking covers a variety of topics involving many challenges. The main concern of clustering approaches for mobile wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is to prolong the battery life of the individual sensors and the network lifetime. For a successful clustering approach, the need of a powerful mechanism to safely elect a cluster head remains a challenging task in many research works that take into account the mobility of the network. In Mobile, Wireless and Sensor Networks: A Clustering Algorithm for Energy Efficiency and Safety, the authors use an approach based on computing of the weight of each node in the network as the proposed technique to deal with this problem. They present a virtual laboratory platform (VLP) of baptized mercury, allowing students and researchers to make practical work (PW) on different aspects of mobile wireless sensor networks. The authors’ choice of WSNs is motivated mainly by the use of real experiments needed in most college courses on WSNs. These usual experiments, however, require an expensive investment and many nodes in the classroom. The platform presented here aims at showing the feasibility, the flexibility, and the reduced cost using the authors’ approach. The authors demonstrate the performance of the proposed algorithms that contribute to the familiarization of the learners in the field of WSNs. The book will be a valuable resource for students in networking studies as well as for faculty and researchers in this area.

Book Efficient Algorithms for Structuring Wireless Sensor Networks

Download or read book Efficient Algorithms for Structuring Wireless Sensor Networks written by Olga Saukh and published by Logos Verlag Berlin GmbH. This book was released on 2009 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A number of application scenarios benefit from using wireless sensor networks for monitoring, tracking and event detection. Since sensor nodes are small and energy-constrained and possess severely limited computational capabilities and memory resources, sensor networks require the development of a new generation of algorithms targeted at large-scale networks, unpredictably changing environments and constantly changing network topologies. Structures result from self-organization of the nodes in the network and are defined in terms of the cooperation between individual nodes. Many sensor network systems require constructing structures in order to perform correctly. This work focuses on both the development and study of structuring algorithms. We present new algorithms for several problems covering the distinctive characteristics of sensor networks: cooperative sensing, communication and location awareness. The problems are energy-efficient routing, time-bounded and space-bounded sensing, range-free boundary recognition, and hierarchical partitioning of the network.

Book Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks

Download or read book Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks written by Carlos de Morais Cordeiro and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2011 with total page 663 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive yet easy coverage of ad hoc and sensor networks and fills the gap of existing literature in this growing field. It emphasizes that there is a major interdependence among various layers of the network protocol stack. Contrary to wired or even one-hop cellular networks, the lack of a fixed infrastructure, the inherent mobility, the wireless channel, and the underlying routing mechanism by ad hoc and sensor networks introduce a number of technological challenges that are difficult to address within the boundaries of a single protocol layer. All existing textbooks on the subject often focus on a specific aspect of the technology, and fail to provide critical insights on cross-layer interdependencies. To fully understand these intriguing networks, one need to grasp specific solutions individually, and also the many interdependencies and cross-layer interactions.
