The purpose of this paper is to represent a wind powered wireless sensor network system and introduce a novel transmission power control scheme based on remaining energy level and energy harvesting status to extend the lifetime of WSNs. Energy constraint has always been one of the most significant problems of wireless sensor networks along with the development. Many methods have been introduced to...
Air conditioners possess a large proportion of the energy consumption in a building for both heating and cooling functions. The purpose of this paper is to present the work in progress which uses simple and cheap sensor nodes mounting on the external unit of air conditioners to automatically sense the usage pattern. This work is part of the project called Cyber IVY, which provides means of building...
Recent advances in the application field increasingly demand the use of wireless camera sensor networks (WCSNs), for which localization is a crucial task to enable various location-based services. Most of the existing localization approaches for WCSNs are essentially interactive, i.e. require the interaction among the nodes throughout the localization process. As a result, they are costly to realize...
Wireless sensor networks(WSNs) have been increasingly available for large-scale applications in which energy efficiency is an important performance measure. These applications include environmental monitoring and structure monitoring which demand multifarious data. Driven by the energy limitation nature of WSNs lots of research works have been done in aspects such as nodes deployment, routing protocol,...
In wireless sensor networks, in-network data aggregation is an efficient way to reduce energy consumption in network. However, most of the existing data aggregation scheduling methods try to aggregate the data from all the nodes at all time-instances. It is neither energy efficient nor practical because of the link unreliability and spatial and temporal data correlations. In this paper, we propose...
In this paper, we study efficient data collection and aggregation problem in wireless sensor networks. We first propose efficient distributed algorithms for data collection problem with approximately the minimum delay, or the minimum number of messages to be sent by all wireless nodes, or the minimum total energy consumption by all wireless nodes respectively. For example, given an algorithm A for...
Embedded systems, because of their application-specific characteristic, are one of the most widely used domains for reconfigurable systems. Aiming at the energy-saving problem, this paper presents a dynamic scheduling architecture. The contribution of this paper is twofold: First, this paper presents an Energy-efficient Architecture for Embedded Software (EAES), which uses a processor with dynamic...
