Book excerpt: “The decomposition of the difficulties to be resolved, or the objects to be known, should be pushed up to the simplest elements ... Such elements are seized directly and completely by the intuition. ” René Descartes, Discours de la méthode (1637) Wireless sensor networks have received significant attention because of their - portant role and many conveniences in our lives. Indeed, the recent and fast - vances in inexpensive sensor technology and wireless communications have 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 s- veillance, respectively. A wireless sensor network consists of a large number of - ny, 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 - ergy), 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 was released on 2022-10-03 with total page 782 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims at developing a reader’s thorough understanding of the challenges and opportunities of two categories of networks, namely k-covered wireless sensor networks and k-barrier covered wireless sensor networks. It presents a variety of theoretical studies based on percolation theory, convexity theory, and applied computational geometry, as well as the algorithms and protocols that are essential to their design, analysis, and development. Particularly, this book focuses on the cover, sense, and inform (CSI) paradigm with a goal to build a unified framework, where connected k-coverage (or k-barrier coverage), sensor scheduling, and geographic data forwarding, gathering, and delivery are jointly considered. It provides the interested reader with a fine study of the above networks, which can be covered in introductory and advanced courses on wireless sensor networks. This book is useful to senior undergraduate and graduate students in computer science, computer engineering, electrical engineering, information science, information technology, mathematics, and any related discipline. Also, it is of interest to computer scientists, researchers, and practitioners in academia and industry with interest in these two networks from their deployment until data gathering and delivery.

Download or read book The Art of Wireless Sensor Networks written by Habib M. Ammari and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-12-17 with total page 692 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the last one and a half decades, wireless sensor networks have witnessed significant growth and tremendous development in both academia and industry. A large number of researchers, including computer scientists and engineers, have been interested in solving challenging problems that span all the layers of the protocol stack of sensor networking systems. Several venues, such as journals, conferences, and workshops, have been launched to cover innovative research and practice in this promising and rapidly advancing field. Because of these trends, I thought it would be beneficial to provide our sensor networks community with a comprehensive reference on as much of the findings as possible on a variety of topics in wireless sensor networks. As this area of research is in continuous progress, it does not seem to be a reasonable solution to keep delaying the publication of such reference any more. This book relates to the second volume and focuses on the advanced topics and applications of wireless sensor networks. Our rationale is that the second volume has all application-specific and non-conventional sensor networks, emerging techniques and advanced topics that are not as matured as what is covered in the first volume. Thus, the second volume deals with three-dimensional, underground, underwater, body-mounted, and societal networks. Following Donald E. Knuth’s above-quoted elegant strategy to focus on several important fields (The Art of Computer Programming: Fundamental Algorithms, 1997), all the book chapters in this volume include up-to-date research work spanning various topics, such as stochastic modeling, barrier and spatiotemporal coverage, tracking, estimation, counting, coverage and localization in three-dimensional sensor networks, topology control and routing in three-dimensional sensor networks, underground and underwater sensor networks, multimedia and body sensor networks, and social sensing. Most of these major topics can be covered in an advanced course on wireless sensor networks. This book will be an excellent source of information for graduate students majoring in computer science, computer engineering, electrical engineering, or any related discipline. Furthermore, computer scientists, researchers, and practitioners in both academia and industry will find this book useful and interesting.

Download or read book Optimal Connected Coverage for Wireless Sensor Networks written by Xiaole Bai and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Coverage and connectivity are two key properties of wireless networks, particularly wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Deploying sensor nodes to simultaneously achieve coverage and connectivity requirements is a fundamental problem in WSNs. It is insufficient to consider coverage alone when deploying a wireless sensor network; connectivity must also be considered. While moderate loss of coverage can be tolerated by WSN applications, loss of connectivity can be fatal. Moreover, since sensors are subject to unanticipated failures after deployment, it is not sufficient for a wireless sensor network to just be connected, it should be k-connected (for k> 1). In this dissertation, we propose optimal deployment patterns to achieve both full coverage and k-connectivity for k=1,2,3,4,5, and 6, respectively, and prove their optimality for all values of r_c/r_s, where r_c is the communication radius and r_s is the sensing radius. By optimal deployment patterns, we mean those patterns that can achieve desired coverage and connectivity requirements with the fewest sensor nodes. Our results' fundamentality and generality facilitate their practical applications in, e.g., wireless mesh networks and 802.15.4 networks. We discover an interesting emph{pattern mutation} phenomenon in pattern evolution as r_c/r_s continuously changes. This phenomenon has both theoretical and practical implications. We also study several practical issues in wireless sensor network deployment in this dissertation.
