This book was released on 2006-06-09 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pervasive Computing and Networking aim at providing ubiquitous, ever-present, adaptable, smart, enveloping and immersive environments in which computing components and humans can interact regardless of the location. The combination of an abundance of computational power of the processors and the communication bandwidth provided by the wireless and mobile networking everywhere and all the time makes such environments within the reach of current technology. Yet, to realize the full potential of such environments, many technical and economical challenges needs to be overcome. These challenges and the perspective on the seminal directions of the research in this area were the subject of the Workshop for Pervasive Computing and Networking at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, USA. This book presents chapters based on presentations made at the workshop by leaders in the field. The scope of Advances in Pervasive Computing and Networking ranges from fundamental theory of pervasive computing and networking to crucial challenges and emerging applications. Such seminal topics as a scalable, self-organizing technology for sensor networks, the fundamental relationship between the achievable capacity and delay in mobile wireless networks, the role of self-optimization in sensor networks or similarities and differences between computer networks and their biological counterparts are the subject of the first group of chapters. The next group of chapters covers communication issues, such as cooperative communication in mobile, wireless and sensor networks, methods for maximizing aggregate throughput in 802.11 mesh networks with a physical carrier, and self-configuring location discovery systems for smart environments. The book closes with chapters focusing on sensor network emerging applications such as smart and safe buildings, a design for a distributed transmitter for reachback based on radar signals sensing and two-radio multi-channel clustering.

Download or read book Synchronous data acquisition with wireless sensor networks written by Funck, Jürgen Helmut and published by Universitätsverlag der TU Berlin. This book was released on 2018-07-19 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are predicted to play a key role in future technological developments like the internet of things. Already they are beginning to be used in many applications not only in the scientific and industrial domains. One of the biggest challenges, when using WSN, is to fuse and evaluate data from different sensor nodes. Synchronizing the data acquisition of the nodes is a key enabling factor for this. So far research has been focused on synchronizing the clocks of the nodes, largely neglecting the implications for the actual measurement results. This thesis investigates the relation between synchronization accuracy and quality of measurement results. Two different classes of time synchronous data acquisition are investigated: event detection and waveform sampling. A model is developed that describes a WSN as a generic multi-channel data acquisition system, thus enabling direct comparison to other existing systems. With the help of this model it is shown, that synchronization accuracy should best be expressed as uncertainty of the acquired timing information. This way, not only the contribution of the synchronization to the overall measurement uncertainty can be assessed, but also the synchronization accuracy required for an application can be estimated. The insights from the uncertainty analysis are used to develop two distinct approaches to synchronous data acquisition: a proactive and a reactive one. It is shown that the reactive approach can also be used to efficiently implement synchronous angular sampling, i.e. data acquisition synchronous to the rotation of a machine's shaft. Furthermore, testing methods are suggested, that evaluate the synchronized data acquisition of an existing WSN as a whole. These methods can be applied to other data acquisition systems without changes, thus enabling direct comparisons. The practical realization of a WSN is described, on which the developed data acquisition methods have been implemented. All implementations were thoroughly tested in experiments, using the suggested testing methods. This way it was revealed, that a system's interrupt handling procedures may have a strong influence on the data acquisition. Furthermore, it was shown that the effective use of fixed-point arithmetic enables synchronous angular sampling in real-time during a streaming measurement. Finally, two application examples are used to illustrate the utility of the implemented data acquisition: the acoustic localization of two sensor nodes on a straight line and a simple order tracking at an induction motor test bench. Diese Dissertation untersucht die Zusammenhänge zwischen Synchronisationsgenauigkeit und Qualität der Messergebnisse. Zwei Klassen von zeitsynchroner Datenerfassung werden dabei betrachtet: die Detektion von Ereignissen und die Aufnahme von Kurvenformen. Es wird ein Modell entwickelt, welches ein WSN als ein allgemeines mehrkanaliges Datenerfassungssystem beschreibt. Dies ermöglicht den direkten Vergleich zwischen WSN und anderen Messsystemen. Weiter wird mit Hilfe des Modells gezeigt, dass die Synchronisationsgenauigkeit vorzugsweise als Unsicherheit der Zeitinformation angegeben werden sollte. Hierdurch kann nicht nur der Beitrag der Synchronisation zur gesamten Messunsicherheit bestimmt sondern auch die von einer Anwendung tatsächlich benötigte Synchronisationsgenauigkeit abgeschätzt werden. Ausgehend von den durch die Unsicherheitsbetrachtung gewonnenen Erkenntnissen werden ein proaktiver und ein reaktiver Ansatz zur synchronen Datenaufnahme entwickelt. Mit dem reaktiven Ansatz können Messdaten auch effizient drehwinkelsynchron, d. h. synchron zur Drehbewegung einer Maschinenwelle, aufgenommen werden. Es werden Testverfahren vorgeschlagen, mit denen sich die Synchronizität der Datenerfassung für ein WSN als Ganzes überprüfen lässt. Diese Verfahren lassen sich unverändert auf andere Messsysteme anwenden und ermöglichen somit direkte Vergleiche. Es wird die praktische Umsetzung eines WSN beschrieben, auf dem die entwickelten Methoden zur Datenerfassung implementiert wurden. Alle Implementierungen wurden mit den vorgeschlagenen Testverfahren untersucht. Hierdurch konnte gezeigt werden, dass die Interrupt-Bearbeitung der Sensorknoten entscheidenden Einfluss auf die Messdatenerfassung hat. Weiter konnte durch den Einsatz von Fixed-Punkt-Arithmetik die drehwinkelsynchrone Datenerfassung in Echtzeit realisiert werden. Schließlich wird die Nützlichkeit der implementierten Datenerfassung an zwei Anwendungen gezeigt: der akustischen Ortung zweier Sensorknoten sowie einer einfachen Ordnungsanalyse.

This book includes 7 chapters from prominent international researchers working in this subject area. This book serves as a useful reference for researchers, graduate students, and practitioners seeking solutions to wireless security and privacy related issues Recent advances in wireless communication technologies have enabled the large-scale deployment of next-generation wireless networks, and many other wireless applications are emerging. The next generation of mobile networks continues to transform the way people communicate and access information. As a matter of fact, next-generation emerging networks are exploiting their numerous applications in both military and civil fields. For most applications, it is important to guarantee high security of the deployed network in order to defend against attacks from adversaries, as well as the privacy intrusion. The key target in the development of next-generation wireless networks is to promote the integration of the human, cyber, and physical worlds. Previous work in Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) considered the connection between the cyber world and the physical world. In the recent studies, human involvement brings new channels and initiatives in this interconnection. In this integration process, security and privacy are critical issues to many wireless network applications, and it is a paramount concern for the growth of next-generation wireless networks. This is due to the open nature of wireless communication and the involvement of humans. New opportunities for tackling these security and privacy issues in next-generation wireless networks will be achieved by leveraging the properties of interaction among human, computers and things.
