For ubiquitous wireless sensor networks, there are three main requirements. The devices must be extremely small, consume very little operating power, and capable of distributed signal processing to enable in situ processing of sensed data at leaf nodes of the network. This paper presents the design of an Asynchronous Digital Signal Processor (ASPEN) to realize these goals. Using Quasi-delay insensitive...
Extending the wireless sensor network's lifetime has been the aim of several research efforts. Distributed in-network processing arises as a viable solution to extend the network's lifetime. It avoids assigning heavy computations to a single node which might otherwise lead to its significant energy depletion. Task scheduling and allocation play a major role in the efficiency of the distribution. This...
In this work we are proposing a light-weight energy-aware distributed LU decomposition on energy-constrained wireless sensor networks (WSN). This work builds a complete scheme for the distribution; it involves an efficient block-based distribution of the LU decomposition, a simple energy-aware task mapping, a light-weight TDMA transmission schedule where each node can infer its transmission time slot...
Multiplication is at the core of many data processing tasks and saving power at the multiplication level can significantly impact the lifetime of a wireless sensor network. This paper introduces a novel light-weight low-power multiplication algorithm which is tailored for sensor nodes featuring low-end microcontrollers. These microcontrollers might have no hardware multiplier, or feature a fixed-point...
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) aim to fulfill the need for reliable and fault-tolerant sensing services. This has made wireless sensor networks a very active research area. SMAC is an energy efficient sensor MAC protocol. An S-MAC problem is that border nodes have to adopt multiple sleeping schedules, which speed up the energy depletion of border nodes. In this paper, S-MACL is proposed to overcome...
S-MAC is a robust medium access control protocol for wireless sensor networks which is designed to be energy efficient. S-MAC nodes reduce energy expenditure by periodically turning off their receivers (sleeping) in a coordinated manner. Nodes form virtual clusters based on common sleep schedules. However, some nodes in S-MAC may have to wake up more often than the other nodes. This paper demonstrates...
Next-generation wireless mobile communications will be driven by converged networks that integrate disparate technologies and services. The wireless mesh network is envisaged to be one of the key components in the converged networks of the future, providing flexible high- bandwidth wireless backhaul over large geographical areas. While single radio mesh nodes operating on a single channel suffer from...
The design of the access networks of next generation broadband wireless systems requires special attention in the light of changing network characteristics. In this paper, we present a mesh-based distributed radio access network (RAN) framework for future wireless systems. Using short, high bandwidth optical wireless links to interconnect the various network elements, we identify a generic fractal...
