As wireless motes are battery powered, many listen-sleep Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols have been proposed to reduce energy consumption. Security issues related to the design of these protocols have, however, largely been ignored. In this paper, we present a novel attack (the synchronization attack) on listen-sleep MAC protocols. This attack can cause 100% message loss and approximately 30%...
Recently there has been an influx of work on extending a wireless sensor networks lifetime by distributing source compression and deploying non-homogeneous nodes to handle the aggregation. Both of these mechanisms have been shown to increase the network's lifetime, but they each have requirements that might not be plausible. With distributed source compression, message distributions must be known...
In large wireless sensor networks (WSNs), each hop might incur varying delays due to medium access contention, transmission and computation delays. Fast and efficient query responses are essential to network performance and maintenance. To save energy in battery-powered sensors, it is desirable that data be aggregated or compressed along the way toward the base-station (BS). The common method to aggregate...
Many tasks require multiple sensing capabilities; in wireless sensor networks (WSNs), it is expensive to deploy a homogeneous network wherein every sensor has the same functionality. Instead, it is economical to deploy a heterogeneous network wherein sensors differ in their capabilities; in such a network, efficient data querying is essential. We propose a multi-keyword routing protocol, iBubble,...
Interference is the main factor that limits capacity of wireless sensor networks. People always consider the interference due to exposednodes and hiddennodes, however, the interference outside of communication range also influence the data reception. In three-dimension wireless networks, this interference is too serious to be neglected. The paper discusses all the interference in three-dimension...
