One of the key factors in distributed sensor networks is their reliability in packets delivery even in the event of failure of one or a few nodes. Another factor--often underestimated--is the intra-network interference experienced by individual nodes from other transmitting counterparts. Common network spanning algorithms, however, neither posses the reliability feature nor keep the interference at...
Solar power is a valuable source of power for wireless sensor networks, but it periodically requires an appropriate energy management strategy. We introduce a scheme that constructs and maintains a fault-tolerant wireless sensor network topology that can make the best use of solar energy. This topology control scheme is based on a simple model of the availability of solar energy and matches the connectivity...
This paper describes the implementation and the technical specifications of a geolocation database assisted by a spectrum-monitoring outdoor network. The geolocation database is populated according to Electronic Communications Committee (ECC) report 186 methodology. The application programming interface (API) between the sensor network and the geolocation database implements an effective and secure...
Traditional encryption and authentication methods are not effective in preserving a sink's location privacy from a global adversary that is monitoring the network traffic. In this paper, we first propose a novel anti-traffic analysis (ATA) method to preserve the sink's location privacy. In order to confuse a local or global adversary, each node generates dummy messages, the number of which is dependent...
Ultra-wideband (UWB) radars are sensors allowing to track people in critical environments and situations. The results reached by single UWB sensors for such applications have shown that they are able to detect and track a person very well in a single person scenario. However, in multiple moving person scenarios, the ability of a single UWB sensor to detect several persons is usually significantly...
Due to lack of the coverage of 3G/4G network, satellite communication which costs excessively is the main approach used in ocean to provide network service. Ocean mobile delay tolerant network (OMDTN) can provide low-cost data transmission service in the network by utilizing the contact chances of moving vessels. Spatio-temporal contact pattern is one of the key metrics to improve the efficiency of...
Intelligence optimization algorithms have an important application in engineering calculation. Swarm intelligence optimization algorithms belong to the class of intelligent algorithms, which are derived from the simulation of natural biological evolution or foraging behaviours. But these algorithms have sometimes slow convergence, and for multi-peak problems, they are easy to fall into the local optimal...
According to the actual demand of the wireless sensor network for multimedia information acquisition, the new multimedia wireless sensor node is designed and implemented with FPGA as the core and Zigbee wireless communication. On the multimedia nodes, sensors such as binocular camera and accelerometer are configured to realize real-time perception and acquisition of environmental information and image...
Traditional node deployment strategies have problems such as slow deployment, small coverage, and poor service quality. Based on this, this study improves the traditional Apriori. This study uses the grid overlay model as the basic model and applies the improved Apriori algorithm to the WSN (wireless sensor networks) coverage optimization process of mobile nodes. This study simulates from different...
Aiming at the problems of high energy consumption, chaotic lines, and inconsistent lighting sources in many stations, this paper presents a simple, reliable, and convenient station green lighting system based on sensor network. According to the arrival and departure time of the train, the lighting equipment of the corresponding track is automatically closed, which saves the power resources and human...
In recent years, the status of cooperation and innovation has become increasingly important. Research on the behavior of production, education, and research organizations has attracted widespread attention. Blockchain technology is considered as another subversive technology following cloud computing, wireless sensor networks, and big data. It is highly concerned by governments, financial institutions,...
