Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Protocols for sensor networks have traditionally been designed using the best effort delivery model. However, there are many specific applications that need a reliable data dissemination protocol. We present a protocol for efficient and reliable data delivery to all sensor nodes in an energy-constrained, event-driven sensor network in which nodes are mobile or static. The new protocol, SPROID (Scalable Protocol for RObust Information Dissemination), identifies data generated by a unique tag, uses content tables for faster dissemination of information and guarantees reliable dissemination to all nodes in the network within a finite time. SPROID can be made to work with any kind of physical layer requirements, but we focus on the case of a single-channel broadcast medium. Simulations results show that SPROID achieves complete data dissemination in shorter time and with more energy efficiency than SPIN (sensor network protocols using information negotiation).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sensor networks use a group of collaborating sensor nodes to collect information about real world phenomena. Sensor nodes use low-power short-range radio links to communicate with each other. Communication between sensor nodes shows significant variation over time and space. This can lead to unreliable and unpredictable network performance. These dynamic and lossy characteristics of wireless links pose major challenges for building reliable sensor networks and raise new issues that data delivery protocols must address. This thesis addresses the problems of designing protocols to overcome time-varying environmental conditions that lead to unpredictable network performance. The goal is to provide reliable data delivery in sensor networks and to minimise energy use. The major contributions of this thesis are: measuring the performance of wireless links in field trials on a time scale of weeks; systematic analysis of strengths and weaknesses of existing data delivery protocols; and the design, implementation and testing of a novel autonomic communication framework. We have measured link quality over time in experiments in unattended outdoor environments. Most previous work focused on spatial properties and experiments were not extensive, only lasting for a few hours. Besides common phenomena found in other work, such as the variation of network performance over time and the existence of asymmetric links, we find that links are independent over long time scales, and performance patterns of links are different. We also analyse the performance of data delivery protocols that use different techniques to improve reliability in sensor networks. Through systematic analysis of strengths and weaknesses of existing data delivery strategies, we find that networks using a single technique can only perform well for a limited range of link conditions. Different strategies are required in different operating conditions. Based on these experimental and theoretical studies, a novel autonomic communication framework (ACF) for wireless sensor networks is proposed. Nodes in this ACF are able to change their behaviour to adapt to time-varying environments so that optimal network performance can be achieved. Our framework provides a holistic solution for reliable data delivery to overcome time-varying wireless links. Our implementation and experimental evaluations demonstrate that this holistic framework is effective for reliable and energy-efficient data delivery in realistic sensor network settings.

This book was released on 2019-12-03 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Document from the year 2019 in the subject Computer Science - Internet, New Technologies, , course: Wireless Sensor Networks, Home Area Networks, language: English, abstract: The objectives of this research are: To propose a scheme to estimate the future interference and enable efficient channel switching mechanism to avoid interference for Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) as per the latency requirements specified by Smart Grid (SG). To propose an algorithm for efficient data recovery mechanism so that ZigBee devices can quickly familiarize with the encoding according to the highly dynamic WiFi traffic. To propose an efficient frequency shifting mechanism for different frame sizes of data under interference conditions to guarantee the reliable data transmission within the delay requirements of the SG. To propose an effective mechanism to guarantee the ZigBee communications within the maximum tolerable delay under the coexistence of WiFi for carrying out effective smart home solutions. To propose an algorithm based on effective transmission power control to increase WSN life time under coexistence scenarios for efficient monitoring and controlling purposes at smart homes. With the introduction of Information and Data-Communication Technology (ICT) to the present electrical power systems, the traditional electrical-grid system is becoming more intelligent and adaptive. The ICT successfully establishes bi-directional communication between Utility companies and the consumer for improving the generation and utilization of power. Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is efficiently utilized by wide-ranging Smart Grid (SG) applications. Despite many advantages, WSN faces a challenge of avoiding interference experiencing from other coexisting wireless technologies working in the 2.4GHz unlicensed frequency band. Providing support for WSN in terms of avoiding interference is a very challenging issue due to the dynamic wireless communication environment and extremely limited resources. In the present thesis, the problem of interference experienced by WSN in 2.4GHz has been investigated. The challenges, limitations and requirements for avoiding the interference for WSN working in the vicinity of other technologies like WiFi and Bluetooth have been identified. As a result of the literature survey carried out, it was identified that proper channel se-lection and channel prioritization for WSNs working in the coexisting environment had not been adequately developed till then. Hence, there was a requirement for addressing these issues. The proposed schemes in this thesis are based on simulation results obtained.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Overview and Goals Wireless communication technologies are undergoing rapid advancements. The last few years have experienced a steep growth in research in the area of wireless sensor networks (WSNs). In WSNs, communication takes place with the help of spatially distributedautonomoussensornodesequippedtosensespeci?cinformation. WSNs, especially the ones that have gained much popularity in the recent years, are, ty- cally, ad hoc in nature and they inherit many characteristics/features of wireless ad hoc networks such as the ability for infrastructure-less setup, minimal or no reliance on network planning, and the ability of the nodes to self-organize and self-con?gure without the involvement of a centralized network manager, router, access point, or a switch. These features help to set up WSNs fast in situations where there is no existing network setup or in times when setting up a ?xed infrastructure network is considered infeasible, for example, in times of emergency or during relief - erations. WSNs ?nd a variety of applications in both the military and the civilian population worldwide such as in cases of enemy intrusion in the battle?eld, object tracking, habitat monitoring, patient monitoring, ?re detection, and so on. Even though sensor networks have emerged to be attractive and they hold great promises for our future, there are several challenges that need to be addressed. Some of the well-known challenges are attributed to issues relating to coverage and deployment, scalability, quality-of-service, size, computational power, energy ef?ciency, and security.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have attracted significant attentions from both academia and industry, and are widely proposed for a broad range of applications, where data collection is often a core service to facilitate sensed data being forwarded to a central base station for further processing. Powered by batteries and using wireless communications, a WSN is more flexible than its wired counterpart. However, wireless losses/collisions may be prevalent when nodes communicate with each other. Moreover, the lifetime of a WSN largely depends on that of individual nodes, which is further constrained by the generally non-replenishable batteries. Energy-efficiency thus becomes a critical concern that must be addressed. In practice, using WSNs for data collection can be broken into three major stages, namely, deployment, message dissemination and data delivery. The deployment stage focuses on best deploying the network in the sensing field. In the message dissemination stage, network setup/management and/or collection command messages are disseminated from the base station to all sensor nodes, where the challenges lie in how to disseminate messages with low transmission costs and latencies in the presence of error-prone wireless communications. The data delivery stage fulfills the main task of data collection. Based on the information indicated by the message dissemination stage, sensed data are gathered at different nodes and delivered to the base station, with application-specified Quality-of-Service requirements to be fulfilled. In this thesis, we tackle the design issues for each of these stages. For the deployment stage, we propose to use relay nodes for traffic relaying and suggest that the deployment should be aware of the data traffic to be collected by specific applications. We then discuss how to efficiently disseminate message in a low duty-cycle scenario, where nodes alternate between active and dormant states to conserve energy and thus extend the network lifetime. To address the traffic accumulation problem, particularly in the data delivery stage, we take a case study on high-rise structure monitoring application and propose to use elevators to facilitate data collection. Our analysis and experimental results offer systematic solutions toward reliable and energy-efficient data collection by WSNs.
