Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have emerged as a new information-gathering paradigm based on the collaborative efforts of large number of sensors. Sensor nodes are low-cost, low-power devices that are equipped with acoustic, seismic, infrared, video, or audio sensors. WSNs come in a wide variety forms covering different geographical areas of interest to collect and transmit real-time data to a gateway node. The existing and potential applications of WSNs span a wide range, including real-time target tracking, homeland security, battlefield surveillance, and biological or chemical attack detection. Many of these WSN applications requires energy-efficient and reliable communication services to report of conditions within a region where the environmental conditions changes due to an observed event. Although WSNs provide redundant detection and reporting, this does not guarantee end-to-end reliability. For real-time applications such as monitoring where decision, control and update processes are based on the received data, reliable packet delivery is an important issue. An elegant reliability solution should benefit by constructing an energy-efficient topology, in order to be effective within this resource-constraint networking domain. Moreover, solutions should be flexible enough to support wide range of applications where WSNs are lack of centralized coordination and have different types of sensors such as audio, video sensors which bring unique characteristics and challenges coupled with the limitations of wireless environments. In this thesis, the problem of energy-efficient reliable data transport is addressed targeting wide range of WSN domains that matches the unique characteristics of sensor networks. The proposed protocols fit into different class of wireless sensor networks supporting both centralized and distributed solutions. We first present the design of an asymmetric and reliable transport (ART) mechanism, and evaluated the scheme by simulating and imple.

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).

Download or read book Reliable and Energy efficient Data Collection in Wireless Sensor Networks written by Feng Wang and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 202 pages. 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.

This book was released on 2018-02-12 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2017 in the subject Electrotechnology, grade: PhD, , course: Doctor of Philosophy, language: English, abstract: Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is fast emerging as prominent study area that attracting considerable research attention globally. The field has seen tremendous development in design and development of application related interfaces with sensor networks. Sensor network finds applications in several domains such as medical, military, home networks, space and so on. Many researchers strongly believe that WSNs can become as important as the internet in the near future. Just as the internet allows access to digital information anywhere, WSNs could easily provide remote interaction with the physical world. It is going to be the backbone of Ubiquitous Computing (UBICOMP).Through local collaboration among sensors, elimination of duplicate data, participation of relevant nodes in the given task etc. can produce a significant difference in energy conservation, thereby increasing the life time of the sensor network. As the number of nodes increases, data security becomes the most challenging part of the network. The intruders can hack the data any time during processing, transmission or at the receiver end. So, as a popular approach data encryption is the most commendable approach in today’s network. Asymmetric key encryption consumes more energy in processing and so not recommended for WSNs. Symmetric key encryption gives better performance with respect to asymmetric key encryption in WSN applications. It uses less computational power due to relatively effortless mathematical operations, and eventually spends less power. This thesis also proposes a symmetric data encryption through Tabulation method of Boolean function reductionfor the WSNs for secure data transmission. It also suggests a new secure approach, SEEMd, Security Enabled Energy Efficient Middleware algorithmfor the critical data sensing and gives a second chance to the nodes before it falls into to sleep mode for energy management. WSNs are designed for applications which range from small-size healthcare surveillance systems to large-scale agricultural monitoring or environmental monitoring. Thus, any WSN deployment, data aggregation, processing and communication have to assure minimum Quality of Service (QoS) in the network from application to application. In this circumstances, the proposed algorithms in this thesis proved to be efficient and reliable in energy saving and life time enhancement.

Download or read book Architectures and Protocols for Secure and Energy Efficient Integration of Wireless Sensor Networks with the Internet of Things written by Malisa Vucinic and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our research explores the intersection of academic, industrial and standardization spheres to enable secure and energy-efficient Internet of Things. We study standards-based security solutions bottom-up and first observe that hardware accelerated cryptography is a necessity for Internet of Things devices, as it leads to reductions in computational time, as much as two orders of magnitude. Overhead of the cryptographic primitives is, however, only one of the factors that influences the overall performance in the networking context. To understand the energy - security tradeoffs, we evaluate the effect of link-layer security features on the performance of Wireless Sensors Networks. We show that for practical applications and implementations, link-layer security features introduce a negligible degradation on the order of a couple of percent, that is often acceptable even for the most energy-constrained systems, such as those based on harvesting.Because link-layer security puts trust on each node on the communication path consisted of multiple, potentially compromised devices, we protect the information flows by end-to-end security mechanisms. We therefore consider Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) protocol, the IETF standard for end-to-end security in the Internet of Things and contribute to the debate in both the standardization and research communities on the applicability of DTLS to constrained environments. We provide a thorough performance evaluation of DTLS in different duty-cycled networks through real-world experimentation, emulation and analysis. Our results demonstrate surprisingly poor performance of DTLS in networks where energy efficiency is paramount. Because a DTLS client and a server exchange many signaling packets, the DTLS handshake takes between a handful of seconds and several tens of seconds, with similar results for different duty cycling protocols.But apart from its performance issues, DTLS was designed for point-to-point communication dominant in the traditional Internet. The novel Constrained Ap- plication Protocol (CoAP) was tailored for constrained devices by facilitating asynchronous application traffic, group communication and absolute need for caching. The security architecture based on DTLS is, however, not able to keep up and advanced features of CoAP simply become futile when used in conjunction with DTLS. We propose an architecture that leverages the security concepts both from content-centric and traditional connection-oriented approaches. We rely on secure channels established by means of DTLS for key exchange, but we get rid of the notion of “state” among communicating entities by leveraging the concept of object security. We provide a mechanism to protect from replay attacks by coupling the capability-based access control with network communication and CoAP header. OSCAR, our object-based security architecture, intrinsically supports caching and multicast, and does not affect the radio duty-cycling operation of constrained devices. Ideas from OSCAR have already found their way towards the Internet standards and are heavily discussed as potential solutions for standardization.
