We consider the scheduling problem for Aggregated ConvergeCast in wireless sensor networks with a physical interference model. Previous work consists of either heuristics without performance guarantees, or approximation algorithms which do not perform well in practice. We propose here a first scalable mathematical SINR (Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio) model that outputs an optimal Aggregated...
An important application of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is target monitoring: sensors monitor a set of targets, and forward the collected data using multi-hop routing to the same location, called the sink. The resulting communication pattern is called ConvergeCast. Several researchers studied the problem of assigning TDMA time slots in order to minimize data collection time using mathematical...
We consider the k-barrier coverage problem, that is, the problem of deploying sensors on a border or perimeter to ensure that any intruder would be detected by at least k sensors. With random deployment of sensors, there is always a chance of gaps in coverage, thereby necessitating multiple rounds of deployment. In this paper, we study multi-round wireless sensor deployment on a border modeled as...
We study the problem of finding a minimum energy broadcast tree in duty cycled wireless sensor networks. In such networks, every node has a wakeup schedule and is awake and ready to receive packets or transmit in certain time slots during the schedule and asleep during the rest of the schedule. We assume that a forwarding node needs to stay awake to forward a packet to the next hop neighbor until...
In wireless sensor networks connected dominating sets are often used to form a virtual backbone. However, a connected dominating set is often vulnerable due to frequent node failures in sensor networks. Hence, to provide a degree of fault-tolerance, we consider a 2-connected distance-k p-dominating set, denoted D2;k;p, as a virtual backbone for wireless sensor networks. Ideally, the backbone should...
