In recent years, issues of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have been widely studied. The energy is limited in WSNs. However, it always takes much energy to achieve highly accurate time synchronization. In this paper, a Spanning Tree-based Energy-efficient Time Synchronization (STETS) strategy for WSNs is proposed. In STETS, only a small number of sensor nodes in the WSN have the privilege to send...
With the development of Internet of Things (IoT), bridging wireless sensor networks (WSNs) and other networks has become important. We divide bridging solutions into two categories: hardware solutions and middleware solutions. Hardware solutions have both low power short distance wireless interfaces and other types of transmission interfaces, e.g. GPRS, 3G/4G, via hardware implementations. This kind...
Visualization tools make it easier for users to observe the status of the wireless sensor networks (WSNs). So far, developers of WSNs have created various visualization tools under certain project/research backgrounds. These tools, however, are limited in certain application scenarios, since the underlying packet formats are hard coded into the programs. For this purpose, we present NetViewer, a universal...
Congestion has always been a serious problem for all kinds of communication networks. Wireless sensor networks (WSN) face special difficulties in dealing with congestion due to their unique requirements and constraints. Various congestion control schemes for WSN have been proposed recently. These schemes try to solve the problem either at the MAC layer or through a cross-layer approach. This paper...
This paper introduces an intelligent remote monitor system based on ZigBee sensor networks for IDC (Internet Data Center) room. The system consists of two parts: three types of ZigBee modules and the server module. The three types of ZigBee modules contain first-cluster node, second-cluster node and sensor end-node. The system can control remote IDC room based on the connection of the ZigBee protocols...
Due to lacking capability of simultaneously gathering information from the embedded system devices and networks, neither WSN simulators nor testbeds could explain how an abnormal exception in the embedded system would influence the network behaviors, and how the network congestion may possibly damage the health of the system on a single node. In this paper, to observe the WSN behavior from both network...
Wireless sensor networks are open architectures, so any potential threat can easily intercept, wiretap and counterfeit the information. Therefore, the safety of WSN is very important. Since any single key system cannot guarantee the security of the wireless sensor network for communications, this paper introduces a hierarchical key management scheme based on the different abilities of different sensor...
Wireless sensor network (WSN) consists of a group of sensors or nodes, linked by a wireless medium (infrared or radio frequency) to perform distributed sensing tasks. The dynamic and lossy nature of wireless communication poses major challenges for highly dense WSN. In our previous work, we proposed a new networking topology, the Cayley pseudo-random protocol (Arden, 1991) (Noel, 2006) for large wireless...
