The establishment of a previously non-existent data class known as the Smart Grid will pose many difficulties on current and future communication infrastructure. It is imperative that the Smart Grid, as the reactionary and monitory arm of the Power Grid, be able to communicate effectively between grid controllers and individual UEs. Like most wireless sensor networks (WSN), the data sent by individual...
In this paper, we propose an adaptive data-harvesting approach for mobile-agent-assisted data collection in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) inspired by Behavioral Ecology. By using the marginal value theorem, we divide the entire sensor field into small patches and gather the correlated data from each patch. Each observation gathered by a given sensor node to be considered to be a marginal information...
Location estimation of mobile terminals under strictly non-line-of-sight propagation conditions is still an open issue. Count-of-Beacon (COB) is a new radiolocation technique where the presence of non-line-of-sight propagation does not affect the accuracy of the estimated position. In this technique, a mobile terminal's location is realized by counting the total number of beacon packets that it can...
Traditional data aggregation methods use data originating from all sensor nodes of the wireless sensor network (WSN). Unfortunately, the use of all available sensors is not a resource efficient approach for such environments. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a novel aggregation procedure based on a hypothesis testing, where a subset of reporting nodes is intermittently selected. Neyman-Pearson...
