Many applications of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) need to balance multiple yet often conflicting performance requirements such as high energy efficiency, high throughput, low delay and low loss. Finding appropriate WSN parameter configuration to achieve the best trade-off requires in depth understanding of the joint effect of key parameters residing at different layers on the performance. In this...
Machine-to-Machine (M2M) technologies allow network-to-device communications. M2M covers a wide scope of technologies including sensing and wireless networking protocols. Hazard monitoring applications based M2M such as monitoring using wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are challenged by real-time and interference-aware requirements. The designed communication mechanisms need to guarantee efficient...
Sensor nodes in Cognitive Sensor Networks (CSNs) can work on different frequency bands (or channels) according to dynamically available wireless resources. This paper proposes a spectrum-aware routing scheme for CSNs, which jointly considers traffic balance, route configuration and power control for reliable end-to-end communications. Bayesian learning method is used to estimate the number of neighboring...
Most wireless sensor networks (WSNs) employ a sleep clock to enable sensor on-off mode to save energy. Since the sleep clock usually works at a relatively low frequency, it is important to correct the long-term synchronization error caused by instability and nonlinearity. In this paper, the time synchronization issue in a WSN is formulated as a closed-loop control problem. Using the proportional-integral...
Using multimedia sensor nodes can enhance the capability of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) for event description. In some scenarios, e.g., an erupting volcano, the WSNs are not deployed to work for long time. Instead, the WSNs aim to deliver continuous and reliable multimedia data as much as possible within an expected lifetime. In this paper, we focus on the efficient multimedia data gathering in...
Because of the particularities of wireless sensor networks, the design of MAC protocol in wireless sensor networks should be paid main attention to minimize the energy consumption. Many schemes, which have significant contributions in power saving, can be found. However, these schemes concentrate on reducing the end-to-end delay, or on the energy saving. This paper proposes a TDMA-based scheduling...
In this paper, a two-phase geographic greedy forwarding (TPGF) routing algorithm is proposed in wireless multimedia sensor networks (WMSNs). TPGF is a pure geographic greedy forwarding routing algorithm, which does not include the face routing and does not use planarization algorithms. Simulation comparison in this paper indicates that TPGF is highly suitable for multimedia transmission in WMSNs.
