A typical Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) assumes a homogeneous set of nodes in terms of capabilities. However, this kind of network suffer from poor fundamental limits of latency during the data communication. Another model of WSN assumes a heterogeneous set of nodes with different capabilities (especially in terms of communication range and energy reserves) called Heterogeneous Sensor Networks (HSNs)...
Based on Wireless Mesh Network (WMN), combined with the clustering topology features of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN), the structure of WSN can be reconstructed. Where made the heavier traffic sensor nodes or cluster head nodes netting together, and regarded sensor nodes as WMN clients which access Internet through WMN backbone, then reconstructed those topology as wireless mesh sensor network (WMSN)...
Network coding is known to improve throughput by mixing information from different flows and conveying more information in each transmission. Recently some proposals have demonstrated the benefits of applying network coding to wireless networks with broadcast transmissions. It is expected that the opportunities for coding and the corresponding gains depend on the bit-rate chosen for determining routes...
Recent advances in computer technology and wireless communications have enabled the emergence of stream-based sensor networks. In such sensor networks, real-time data are generated by a large number of distributed sources. Queries are made that may require sophisticated processing and filtering of the data. A query is represented by a query graph. In order to reduce the data transmission and to better...
In this paper, we propose an efficient MAC protocol: the throughput maximized MAC protocol (TM-MAC), inspired by the availability that a number of ultrawideband (UWB) transmission parameters can be tuned to better match the requirements of data flow. In TM-MAC, we implement a concurrent multiuser access scheme instead of a mutual exclusion method such as TDMA and random access. For multiuser interference,...
In this paper, we evaluate network performance of non-acknowledged packet transfer in relatively large IEEE 802.15.4 network. Network under consideration contains six interconnected IEEE 802.15.4 beacon enabled network clusters in triangular topology using slave-slave (SS) bridges with CSMA-CA access. We investigate the interactions among local nodes, local bridges and remote bridges. Simulation results...
