Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'objectif principal de la thèse est d'étudier le problème d'inférence bayésienne dans les réseaux de capteurs distribués avec un accent particulier sur le compromis entre la précision de l'estimation et la consommation de l'énergie. Nous avons proposé des algorithmes de traitement distribué du signal avec des mesures de capteurs quantifiées. En particulier, cette thèse porte sur l'application des méthodes variationnelles pour résoudre les problèmes de suivi de cibles sous les contraintes d'énergie dans les RCSFs. Le travail a abouti à la résolution de trois problèmes en RCSFs : la quantification intelligente des données des capteurs, la gestion des clusters et l'application de l'optimisation multi-objectifs pour s'accommoder des contraintes énergétiques d'un réseau de capteurs. Les contributions de cette thèse concernent les points suivant : -Estimation des positions de cibles basée sur des mesures quantifiées utilisant des méthodes variationnelles. -Estimation de canal entre les capteurs candidats et le chef de cluster. -Régime de quantification adaptative sous contraintes de puissance de transmission constante et variable. -Sélection de meilleurs capteurs qui peuvent participer à la collecte de données. -Agrégation sécurisée de données dans le RCSF. -Sélection de chemins de communication optimaux entre les capteurs. -Méthode d'optimisation multi-objectifs dans le RCSF. -Application de la méthode d'agrégation multicritères des données basée sur le système multi-agents pour la gestion de crise dans le RCSF

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La gestion énergétique est une question incontournable dans les applications type « réseaux de capteurs sans fil » (RCSF). Garantir une efficacité et une longévité du réseau en se limitant uniquement à une solution matérielle reste aujourd’hui insuffisant. Il est donc nécessaire de se tourner vers des solutions logicielles qui permettraient une meilleure maîtrise de l’exploitation de l’information, de sa source à son acheminement vers sa destination finale. Afin de répondre à ces besoins, Gestion énergétique dans les réseaux de capteurs sans fil présente et développe des outils informatiques et des stratégies protocolaires en mode basse consommation mettant en oeuvre des mécanismes de routage d’informations – ces derniers concernent plusieurs niveaux d’interventions, du déploiement à l’exploitation du réseau.

This book was released on 2011-01-19 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are a number of different system concepts that have gained much relevance in the area of embedded systems over the past couple of years. First, there is the classic concept of embedded systems where the focus is on control systems for physical processes. Secondly, the notion of pervasive computing has evolved, where the vision foresees everyday objects having some form of computation capacity and, in most cases, sensing and communication facilities. Thirdly, the notion of wireless sensor networks has arisen, where small computing devices are able to sense their environment and cooperate in order to achieve a well-defined goal. These three types of quite diverse systems share a lot of commonalities on the one hand and, on the other hand, have some complementary aspects in common that make a combination of these systems into a coherent system vision promising. In particular, the important notions of control, heterogeneity, wireless communication, dynamic and ad-hoc nature and cost are prevalent to various degrees in each of these systems. A future system concept needs to combine the strong points of all three system concepts in at least these functional aspects. It has to provide support for the control of physical processes like today’s embedded systems do, have as good support for device heterogeneity and spontaneity of usage as required by pervasive and ubiquitous computing approaches, and has to be as cost efficient and wirelessly agile as wireless sensor networks are. These new systems consist, therefore, of individual entities or objects that jointly strive to reach a common goal, which will typically be a goal in sensing or control, and are dynamically and loosely federating themselves for cooperation, taking care not to overtax their available resources. This book presents a roadmap to these concepts which are summarized as cooperating objects.

Download or read book R seaux de capteurs sans fil written by Fady Shebli and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les réseaux de capteurs sans fil possèdent des potentialités intéressantes dans des segments de l'économie et dans notre vie courante, comme le contrôle et la préservation de l'environnement, la gestion des outils de fabrication et des outils commerciaux, l'automatisation des transports et les industries de la santé. La conception, l'implémentation et la mise en oeuvre d'un réseau de capteurs impliquent la collaboration de nombreuses disciplines. Ces réseaux possèdent souvent des ressources limitées en énergie, ce qui impose de concevoir la couche physique et les protocoles de communication de façon à consommer une énergie minimale. Dans ce travail, notre attention s'est focalisée sur la communication et la minimisation de la consommation, de même que sur la localisation d'une cible au sein d'un réseau de capteurs sans fil. Dans les trois premiers chapitres, nous présentons une synthèse rapide des réseaux de capteurs sans fil. Nous discutons de leurs avantages, inconvénients et champs d'application et de la notion de traitement collaboratif. Nous décrivons les principaux standards de communication utilisés ainsi que les protocoles de routage mis en œuvre. Dans le quatrième chapitre, nous présentons notre contribution à la minimisation de la consommation d'énergie lors du routage et au placement optimal des capteurs. Nos algorithmes sont étayés par des simulations et une comparaison est effectuée avec des résultats présentés dans la littérature. Le cinquième chapitre est consacré à l’étude de la localisation d'une cible fixe. Cette présentation est complétée par notre contribution à l'élaboration du cahier des charges d'une expérimentation
Download or read book Ordonnancement des r seaux de capteurs sans fil embarqu s written by Anis Mezni and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les réseaux de capteurs sans fil ont attiré beaucoup d'activités de recherche et développement au cours de la dernière décennie. Pourtant, leur utilisation est restreinte, à ce jour, à la surveillance et l'acheminement des informations détectées. Cette thèse vise à introduire un nouvel aspect intéressant de point de vue fonctionnel. Partant d'une exigence spécifiée initialement, mettre en oeuvre une synergie à plusieurs niveaux entre un ensemble des noeuds, tout en se basant sur une interaction adéquate. Ceci est réalisé par la génération automatique de code (correct par construction) et sa distribution par la suite en s'appuyant sur la théorie de contrôle par supervision. La synthèse de contrôleurs discrets SCD est une application de ce cadre théorique. Dans ce manuscrit, nous montrons comment la technique de la SCD peut être utilisée dans le domaine de réseaux de capteurs sans fil. Ainsi son potentiel se décline à deux niveaux. L'ordonnancement intra-cluster (groupe redondant de capteurs) avec des spécifications exprimant l'exclusion mutuelle lors de l'activation d'un capteur au sein d'un cluster, essentielle pour économiser l'énergie du réseau ainsi que la génération automatique d'un algorithme de routage optimal et multicritères pour les réseaux de capteurs. Spécifiquement, un chemin optimal devrait avoir à la fois une longueur minimale en termes de distance tout en évitant des chemins composés de noeuds dits « maillons faibles » (ayant un niveau d'énergie plus bas que la majorité). Les outils formels cités s'appuient sur une démarche de modélisation basée sur des machines à états finis communicantes. Les verrous scientifiques sont liés à la nature d'un réseau de capteurs ainsi qu'à sa taille. La SCD génère des contrôleurs monobloc, alors qu'au sein d'un réseau de capteurs le traitement est essentiellement distribué. La problématique est celle de la distribution d'un contrôleur global, qui se présente sous forme d'une contrainte logique exprimée sur l'état global du réseau, sur chacun des noeuds du réseau, en ajoutant la synchronisation nécessaire pour garantir un fonctionnement distribué équivalent au contrôleur initialement généré.

Download or read book Regularization and Bayesian Methods for Inverse Problems in Signal and Image Processing written by Jean-Francois Giovannelli and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2015-02-02 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The focus of this book is on "ill-posed inverse problems". These problems cannot be solved only on the basis of observed data. The building of solutions involves the recognition of other pieces of a priori information. These solutions are then specific to the pieces of information taken into account. Clarifying and taking these pieces of information into account is necessary for grasping the domain of validity and the field of application for the solutions built. For too long, the interest in these problems has remained very limited in the signal-image community. However, the community has since recognized that these matters are more interesting and they have become the subject of much greater enthusiasm. From the application field’s point of view, a significant part of the book is devoted to conventional subjects in the field of inversion: biological and medical imaging, astronomy, non-destructive evaluation, processing of video sequences, target tracking, sensor networks and digital communications. The variety of chapters is also clear, when we examine the acquisition modalities at stake: conventional modalities, such as tomography and NMR, visible or infrared optical imaging, or more recent modalities such as atomic force imaging and polarized light imaging.

Download or read book Multiple Access Protocols written by Raphael Rom and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Computer communication networks have come of age. Today, there is hardly any professional, particularly in engineering, that has not been the user of such a network. This proliferation requires the thorough understanding of the behavior of networks by those who are responsible for their operation as well as by those whose task it is to design such networks. This is probably the reason for the large number of books, monographs, and articles treating relevant issues, problems, and solutions in this field. Among all computer network architectures, those based on broadcast mul tiple access channels stand out in their uniqueness. These networks appear naturally in environments requiring user mobility where the use of any fixed wiring is impossible and a wireless channel is the only available option. Because of their desirable characteristics multiple access networks are now used even in environments where a wired point-to-point network could have been installed. The understanding of the operation of multiple access network through their performance analysis is the focus of this book.
