Nowadays, due to wide applicability of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) added by the low cost sensor devices, its popularity among the researchers and industrialists are very much visible. A substantial amount of works can be seen in the literature on WSN which are mainly focused on application specific WSN considering its resource constraints, neglecting the return-of-investment and usefulness of the...
Wildlife sounds provide relevant information for non-intrusive environmental monitoring when Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are used. Thus, collecting such audio data, while maximizing the network lifetime, is a key challenge for WSNs. In this work, we propose a methodology that applies Compressive Sensing (CS) aiming at collecting as little data as possible to allow the signal reconstruction, so...
The article is dedicated to sensor node design focused on minimalization of energy consumption. The mote is proposed for low rate or occasional data transmission so that communication subsystem energy consumption can be minimal. In case of simple applications, the sensor could be energized from two super-capacitors 50F/2.3V during 14 hours. The mote consists of acoustic sensor monitoring specific...
Energy awareness is the single most prominent factor of design in all the layers of the protocol stack for wireless sensor networks. A dynamic back-off procedure in which the size of the contention window is influenced by the real time traffic information of the network can be a good remedy to decrease the idle listening time in low loads and the probability of collisions in high loads. In this paper...
Wireless sensor networks (WSN) can be an attractive solution for a plethora of communication applications, such as unattended event monitoring and tracking. One of the looming challenges that threaten the successful deployment of these sensor networks is source-location privacy, especially when a network is deployed to monitor sensitive objects. In order to enhance source location privacy in sensor...
Health-care monitoring with Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) has become a major interest during the last few years. The use of efficient communication protocols is crucial in minimizing transmission delay and energy consumption of sensor nodes. In a heterogeneous WSN context, we propose, efficient mobility aware mechanisms which may be implemented in large three-tier WSN. These mechanisms must be designed...
In wireless sensor networks, it is important to minimize energy consumption of the sensor nodes. Energy consumption of sensor nodes can be reduced explicitly by making sensors sleep when they are idle. In this paper, we consider a single wake-up periodic schedule in that the sensor wakes up in one slot out of k slots. This results in every sensor node having a duty cycle of 1/k on an average. However,...
Constructing an effective Query Routing Tree is the premise for continuous queries in a Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). The query routing tree structures can provide sensors with a path to the querying nodes. At present, the data acquisition systems for WSN construct the routing structures in an ad-hoc manner, therefore, there is no guarantee that a given query workload will be distributed equally...
A Self-adaption Link-quality Detection Algorithm (SLDA) is proposed to implement the Data Collecting in Opportunistic Sensor Network. The new scheme adopts Self adaptive Link-quality Detection strategy to measure the real time link quality weight factor (LQWF), and combines energy consumption model of mobile nodes to predict optimal transmission path for message forwarding by means of the Unscented...
This paper proposes a novel timeout scheduling scheme for data aggregation in wireless sensor networks, which adaptively configures both the length of timeout and the collecting period according to the potential level of event occurrence. At normal times, the proposed scheme decreases the length of timeout that is a waiting time for messages from child nodes, and it makes longer the collecting period...
Focused on the energy consumption and the network delay in wireless sensor network applied to emergent event monitoring, a new data gathering algorithm based on mobile agent (DGMA) is proposed for the cluster-based wireless sensor network. The process of dynamically clustering the sensor nodes is based on the event severity, by which the scale and lifetime of clusters are determined. And a virtual...
In wireless sensor networks, energy consumption is generally associated with the amount of sent data once communication is the activity of the network that consumes more energy. This work proposes an algorithm based on ldquoprincipal component analysisrdquo to perform multivariate data reduction. It is considered air quality monitoring scenario as case study. The results show that, using the proposed...
Sink mobility has become an increasingly important requirement of various sensor network applications. Handling such mobile sink conditions brings new challenges to large-scale sensor networking. This investigation proposed a hybrid-structure routing protocol (HSRP) that combines the benefits of grid-based and cluster-based structures. Grid-based structure is designed to solve the cluster head selection...
