This book was released on 2009 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Instruments that observe entire systems in situ, using a relatively large number of interconnected and inexpensive nodes are expected to be enabled primarily by Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). These instruments place certain service demands on the underlying network e.g. connectivity, coverage, quality of service assurance arid energy efficient utilization. The IEEE 802.15.4 Low Rate Wireless Personal Area Network (LR-WPAN) specification is kitted with components that can deliver (or at least provide support for the delivery of) these services. As this specification is relatively new, with the first version released in 2003. a revision in 2006 and an update in 2007, it was incumbent that its operational mechanisms were well understood, to allow for efficient cross layer interaction between the different processes that make up the specification and existing or new higher layer protocols. To that end. in this thesis, we created a model of the specification that captured all but one of its functional requirements i.e. the security component. We studied and evaluated this model using a combination of a high fidelity simulation and mathematical tools. From these studies, we were able to identify areas in which the specification could be improved upon without extensive modification. Also identified were areas of cross layer interactions. The knowledge gained from the above was used to propose and evaluate three higher layer mechanisms/protocols including; a scalable dynamic topology control algorithm, a routing and transport protocol. All of which leveraged the services offered by the IEEE 802.15.4 specification to deliver on the objectives required of a WSN. These proposed higher layer mechanisms/protocols were thoroughly evaluated in order to demonstrate their flexibility, scalability and energy efficiency capabilities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The next generation of older people is outnumbering the younger ones. Statistics show that it will reach 761 million by 2025, more than double of what it was in 1990. This will put an enormous demand on the health care systems. The recent advancements in wireless networking enabled proliferation of wireless sensor networks. These sensor networks are capable of monitoring and controlling environments remotely, thereby reducing the workload of medical care. Body area networks (BAN) have revolutionized the remote patient monitoring system. Sensors implanted in the body collect the vital sign data and report any anomaly to a physician. A wireless technology is required to transmit these signals. Although many solutions are available today to address this, a globally standardized technology is necessary. We investigated the available IEEE standard 802.15.1(Bluetooth) and 802.15.4 (ZigBee) to decide the best fit for BAN. ZigBee/802.15.4 proved to be the most suitable for this application. It has an excellent battery life which is the most important factor in BAN as the sensors are implanted within the body. We evaluate the performance of slotted CSMA/CA mechanism and GTS mechanism of 802.15.4 standard. The beacon enabled mode is used with broadcast transmissions. We provide an accurate simulation model with respect to the specifications of IEEE 802.15.4 standard. The effect of the different attributes (Superframe order (SO), Beacon order (BO) and Backoff exponent (BE)) on the network performance is analyzed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis investigates performance of the IEEE 802.15.4 standard in the context of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) deployed in pervasive monitoring. IEEE 802.15.4 has been widely acknowledged as the standard physical (PHY) and medium access control (MAC) layer specifcations for WSNs due to its simple protocol stack and low power operation. Mathematical models and computer simulations were devised to analyse the IEEE 802.15.4 MAC protocol and to improve its performance under different applications and operational conditions. First, the beacon-enabled mode of the protocol with acknowledgments (ACKs) was analysed using a discrete time Markov chain (DTMC). The proposed model provides a generalised platform to evaluate the impact of different network and MAC layer parameters and erroneous channel conditions on the performance of the protocol. Second, performance of the non-beacon-enabled mode of the protocol was investigated both with and without ACKs. The outcomes of these analyses were then used to compare and contrast the performance of two operational modes. Third, impact of the presence of hidden nodes on the performance of IEEE 802.15.4 based networks was examined. Using a DTMC model and network simulations, it was shown that the throughput of the protocol is severely reduced due to increased transmission failures caused by hidden nodes. Finally, a new hybrid MAC mechanism was proposed to improve the performance of the IEEE 802.15.4 standard in the context of recently emerged hybrid monitoring applications. Simulation based experiments show that the proposed hybrid protocol not only outperforms the standard protocol, but also provides a reliable, energy effcient and delay limited transmission mechanism for hybrid monitoring WSNs. This thesis has provided a platform for further studies on the performance analysis and application specific tailoring of the IEEE 802.15.4 standard in the context of WSNs.
Download or read book Deployment of 802 15 4 Sensor Networks for C4ISR Operations written by and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The applications of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have risen in recent years both in the civilian and military sectors. While a number of WSN-based systems have been proposed and developed, vast majority of them focus on capability demonstration rather than the issues of deployment. As a result, even though the systems can serve useful purposes, they are very hard to deploy. The objective of this thesis is to focus on the deployment issues of WSNs. In addition, this thesis assesses the optimal configurations and environment that enables the sensor networks to thrive in a C4ISR environment. This thesis presents a technology review of the ZigBee and the IEEE 802.15.4 standards which form the core technology in WSNs. The thesis also discusses the IEEE 802.15.4 Physical and Media Access Control Layers that comprise the bottom two layers of WSNs. This thesis also provides a brief introduction to the hardware and software that deal with WSN technology. Lastly, this thesis evaluates the military applications of WSNs. It is hoped that the military can employ wireless sensors to increase situational awareness, attain information superiority, and improve decision-making.
