Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) consist of connected low-cost and small-size sensor nodes. The sensor nodes are characterized by various limitations, such as energy availability, processing power, and storage capacity. Typically, nodes collect data from an environment and transmit the raw or processed data to a sink. However, the collected data contains often redundant information. An in-network processing...
To ensure end-to-end reliable multicast or broadcast transmissions in IEEE 802.15.4 based wireless sensor networks WSNs) is a challenging task since no retransmission and acknowledgment mechanisms are defined in such WSNs. In this paper, we propose three retransmission enabled multicast transmission schemes in order to achieve reliable packet transmissions in such networks. Different from the legacy...
Punctual and reliable transmission of collected information is indispensable for many Internet of Things (IoT) applications. Such applications rely on IoT devices operating over wireless communication links which are intrinsically unreliable. Consequently to improve packet delivery success while reducing delivery delay is a challenging task for data transmission in the IoT. In this paper, we propose...
Unattended Wireless Sensor Networks (UWSNs) operated in hostile environments face a risk on data security due to the absence of real-time communication between sensors and sinks, which imposes sensors to accumulate data till the next visit of a mobile sink to off-load the data. Thus, how to ensure forward secrecy, backward secrecy and reliability of the accumulated data is a great challenge. For example,...
Many data storage schemes have been proposed in the past for keeping dependable data storage, but they are not designed for Unattended Wireless Sensor Networks (UWSNs). When applying these schemes to UWSNs, most of them have limitations such as high storage requirement, transmission cost, and not resilient to a large number of node compromises. To address the problem of data storage, transmission...
