Large-scale wireless sensor networks (WSNs) often need to be partitioned for efficient data acquisition. To enhance the scalability and reliability of publish/subscribe (pub/sub) systems implemented on a large-scale in WSNs, dedicated broker devices with large storage and computation capacities can be replaced with virtual brokers (VBs), each formed by multiple co-located sensor nodes that shared...
To ensure the function of wireless sensor networks (WSNs), nodes that fail to forward packets must be localized efficiently and then fixed or replaced promptly. The state-of-the-art work frames lossy node localization in WSNs as an optimal sequential testing problem guided by end-to-end data. It combines both the active and passive measurements to minimize the testing cost and the number of iterations...
Brokers are critical elements for many publish and subscribe (pub/sub) systems. They are dedicated devices with large computation and storage capacities, but they could suffer from scalability problems when comes to actual large-scale implementations in wireless sensor networks. Inspired by the recent virtual MIMO concept for wireless sensor networks, this paper proposes the idea of `virtual brokers'...
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) play an increasingly important role in civilian and military settings. With the limited energy supply, sensor nodes do neither large calculations nor further transmissions. Data aggregation can reduce the redundancy of packets and save energy to prolong the lifetime of sensor networks. This paper proposes a novel mechanism for the delay-ranged feedback timing control...
The cluster-based routing of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) requires secure, robust protocols for wireless communication. Unfortunately, existing protocols are unsuitable due to the limited storage space of nodes. Although symmetric-key-based solutions have been available, all of them suffer from possible severe attacks, and the problem of limited storage space. These issues are truly critical in...
During the recent years, numerous utilities have experienced catastrophic rupture of critical Prestressing Concrete Cylinder Pipe (PCCP) lines throughout the world. Because PCCP is usually used throughout many water and wastewater utilities as critical mains with high flow rates, sudden failures can have significant negative consequences. Much attention has been focused on reliably assessing the condition...
PCCP is usually used throughout many water and wastewater utilities as critical mains with high flow rates, sudden failures can have significant negative consequences. The world has experienced a number of failures of prestressing concrete cylinder pipe (PCCP) lines and as a result during the past ten years, much attention has been focused on reliably assessing the condition of PCCP mains. In this...
With the deep prevalence of the wireless network and sensor technology, the real time monitoring system with some application environment comes true gradually. This article designs a feasible intelligent home-hospital system (IHHS) to a certain extent through the pivotal context-aware technology which plays an important role in the area of the pervasive computing and the wireless sensor network (WSN)...
According to the effect of water with suspended particles to light propagation and temperature to turbidity and pressure, a multi-parameter measuring system with wireless transceiver and automatic temperature compensation is designed. The measured value of turbidity, temperature and pressure are transmitted to host computer (its monitor system software is written under VisualBasic6.0 program) by radio...
For Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), target tracking is a canonical problem that collaborates signal and information processing to dynamically manage sensor resources and efficiently process distributed sensor measurements. This paper proposes an adaptive sensor scheduling strategy that jointly sets up distribute dynamic clustering, selects the tasking sensor, and determines the sampling interval....
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are vulnerable to various attacks since they are distributed in unattended environments and have limited energy, storage and computation abilities. Preventive approaches can be applied to protect WSNs from some kinds of attacks. However, preventive methods are not efficient on specific attacks. So it is necessary to develop some mechanisms for intrusion detection. Intrusion...
A 2.4-GHz wideband fractional-N frequency synthesizer utilizing PFD/DAC structure for Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) Application is presented. In this synthesizer, hybrid of phase/frequency detector and compensated digital-to-analog converter (PFD/DAC) is utilized to achieve phase noise performance as an integer-N synthesizer. The synthesizer is implemented with wide 400 kHz loop bandwidth and 4 us...
