The quality of service (QoS) in Smart Grid (SG) communications has a significant importance on emerging SG applications. Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) were considered as a compatible choice to fulfill this issue. In fact, WSNs could be widely used in a wide range of smart grid applications because they have been successfully adopted in several critical areas. Unlike other WSN applications, SG requires...
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have been proposed for various monitoring applications including environmental, industrial, military and health care. The use of WSNs with cluster-tree topologies for such applications solves the limited coverage issue of the wireless sensor devices and allows them to be deployed in wider area. WSNs with cluster-tree topologies suffer from various problems including...
In this paper, we present the results of the comparison of three reactive routing protocols for Wireless sensor networks (WSNs), AODV, DYMO and RPL. For the purpose of performance evaluation, detailed comparisons are made with AODV and DYMO. Simulations are run to estimate the network topology change, routing overhead and average packet End-to-End Delay. We simulate RPL with COOJA based on contiki...
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are receiving more popularity in mission critical and delay sensitive industrial applications because they offer low latency and reliable message transmission. In applications like gas leakage detection, monitoring of pressure and industrial process control etc. reliable communication between sink and the sensing nodes is very important. In wireless sensor networks...
In critical infrastructure monitoring applications, the packet arrival rates of a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) may abruptly increase when cascaded failures are observed in the monitored environment. WSNs with cluster-tree topologies could experience excessive delays because of this increase in packet arrival rates. Therefore, there should be an optimum operating point in the network where the network...
Wireless Sensor Network consists of large number of sensor nodes with limited battery power, which are randomly deployed over certain area for several applications. Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) has a great potential to be deployed in wide range of applications like consumer, industrial and defense sectors. WSN s are susceptible to various attacks, in which Blackhole a kind of Denial of Service (DoS)...
Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) has a great potential to be deployed in wide range of applications like consumer, industrial and defense sectors. WSNs are susceptible to various attacks, in which misdirection a kind of Denial of Service (DoS) attack is very difficult to detect and defend. In misdirection attack, the intruder misdirects the incoming packets to a node other than the intended node. Due...
The simulation analysis is important approach to developing and evaluating the systems in terms of development time and cost. This paper demonstrates the application of Time Division Cluster Scheduling (TDCS) tool for the configuration of IEEE 802.15.4/ZigBee beacon-enabled cluster-tree WSNs using the simulation analysis, as an illustrative example that confirms the practical applicability of the...
To reduce energy consumption, in most MAC protocols for wireless sensor networks, listen-sleep cycles are adopted. However, even though it is a good solution for energy efficiency, it may introduce a large end-to-end delay due to sleep delay, since a node with a packet to transmit should wait until the next-hop node of the packet awakes. To resolve this issue, in this paper, we propose the average...
