Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are composed of a large number of sensor nodes and usually used to monitor a region of interest. The sensor nodes are very prone to damage due to low-cost design and random deployment. Additionally, faulty nodes may degrade the performance of the distributed hypothesis testing. This work addresses fault isolation in WSN where the fusion center attempts to identify faulty...
This paper presents the design of a novel radiated sources monitoring system. With the lightweight and global positioning features, the implemented wireless radiation detection node can easily be deployed to discover unusual or abnormal radioactivity and map the events. ZigBee-based multi-hop mesh communication is adopted between radiated detection nodes. For every node in within the network, there...
With the development of WSNs in the military and commercial fields, the security of WSNs is becoming more and more important. The security threats of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) come from not only the attacks of external attackers but also the byzantine behaviors and selfish behaviors of internal nodes. The classical security mechanisms, namely cryptography and authentication, can prevent some...
This work addresses fault-tolerant distributed decision fusion in the presence of sensor faults when local sensors sequentially send their local decisions to a fusion center. This work also proposes a collaborative sensor fault detection (CSFD) scheme for eliminating unreliable local decisions when performing distributed decision fusion. In particular, the concept of pseudo-sensor faults is presented...
This work addresses the design of a distributed fault-tolerant decision fusion in the presence of sensor faults when the local sensors sequentially send their decisions to a fusion center. A collaborative sensor fault detection (CSFD) scheme is proposed here to eliminate unreliable local decisions when performing distributed decision fusion. Based on the pre-designed fusion rule, assuming identical...
We propose and formally characterize a new problem named the dynamic context coverage problem in capability-constrained mobile sensor network environments. The goal is to move and adjust a network of mobile sensors with limited sensing capabilities to quickly achieve good coverage of dynamic changing contexts and continuously maintain the level of coverage. We propose several self-organization strategies...
