We investigate the performance of IEEE 802.15.4 MAC (Medium Access Control) sublayer in beacon-enabled tree-topology Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). To our knowledge, current literature has mostly focused on relatively simpler star topology or non-beacon-enabled peer-to-peer networks. In our work, we first respectively evaluate the impact of different traffic loads from the source nodes in each depth...
We propose a fully distributed algorithm for source localization based on TOA measurements in a multi-hop wireless sensor networks. In contrast to centralized methods where all measurements are transmitted to and processed at a central location (the sink), the proposed method distributes the processing among the relay nodes on the routes to the sink such that the raw and intermediate data are progressively...
As one of the most dominant factors in clustered wireless sensor networks (WSNs), the selection of cluster-head (CH) can impact the network performance. The selection shall be subject to at least two factors. (i) The number of CHs may vary in different periods of the WSN lifetime. And (ii) this number can determine on the performance, in terms of energy consumption and WSN lifetime, etc. In this paper,...
Self-healing is an important feature of robust and reliable wireless sensor networks. ZigBee is an industrial standard widely adopted for wireless sensor networks. We propose an efficient process for a ZigBee network to repair itself after node failure or communication breakdown. It allows a disconnected subnet to rejoin the network with minimum message exchanges and, therefore, saves time and energy...
