In this paper, we study the problem of data gathering in ad-hoc sensor networks using a mobile entity called mule. The mule traverses the children of failed sensors, to prevent loss of data. Our objective is to define the optimal communication tree and the mule's placement such that the mule's overall traveling distance is minimized. We explore this problem in several network topologies including:...
A group of wireless devices with the ability to sense physical events (sensors) or/and to perform relatively complicated actions (actors), is referred to as Wireless Sensor and Actor Network (WSAN). In this work, we propose and implement two Fuzzy Based Actor Selection Systems (FBASS): FBASS1 and FBASS2 for actor selection in WSANs. The systems decide whether the actor will be selected for the required...
Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs) are one possible solution for infrastructure-independent communication in disaster scenarios. In such scenarios, communication is essential to coordinate first responders and safe lives. But mobile nodes in large areas face several challenges related to connectivity, resulting in frequent partitions and intermittent connections. Protocols as well as network access technologies...
Node locations and distance are important in networks. This article assumes sensor nodes are distributed randomly and studies the energy consumption in a single regular hexagon and two adjacent regular hexagon. Meanwhile, distance distribution function is verified and point average energy consumption function is derived and simulated by using Monte Carlo method. The simulation results show that distance...
WSNs are gradually penetrating all spheres of security, industry and civil sectors. Since the very inception of the concept, a need for enhancing energy efficiency and longevity of the networks is felt. Routing protocols designed for WSNs have evolved over the years in order to serve this purpose better. This paper summarizes the concerns of a WSN and discusses how these were addressed through innovations...
This paper describes the mobile Ad-Hoc (wireless) network (MANET) for emergency scenarios in nuclear power plant (NPP). Authors proposed the system with such properties as flexibility and a self-forming and self-healing network topology that dynamically adjusts to the moving configuration per each intermediate routing node. It is also proposed to integrate MANET and Bluetooth-like technologies to...
A group of wireless devices with the ability to sense physical events (sensors) or to perform relatively complicated actions (actors), is referred to as Wireless Sensor and Actor Network (WSAN). In WSANs, sensors gather information about the physical events, while actors perform appropriate actions upon the environment, based on the sensed data shared by sensors. In order to provide effective sensing...
The vehicle has no parking assist system and takes much time to wander around aimlessly to find parking spaces near the destination. In recent years, how to help a driver find parking spaces by the Vehicle Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) is an important problem. This paper proposed a novel direction-base recommendation algorithm (DRA) to reduce both the search time for parking and the competition of parking...
In Wireless Sensor-Actor Networks (WSANs), sensors probe the surroundings and forward their data to actors. Actors collaboratively respond to achieve predefined application mission. However, since the environment where WSANs are used is usually complex and harsh, actors cannot communicate with its neighbor actors occasionally due to the failure of an actor. Although the recent work provides a connection...
In this paper we present a distributed self organizing trust based clustering framework for securing ad hoc networks. The mobile nodes are vulnerable to security attacks, so ensuring the security of the network is essential. To enhance security, it is important to evaluate the trustworthiness of nodes without depending on central authorities. In our proposal the evidence of trustworthiness is captured...
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are made of a large amount of small devices that are able to sense changes in the environment, and communicate these changes throughout the network. An example of such network is a photo voltaic (PV) power plant, where there is a sensor connected to each solar panel. Because such a network covers a large area, the number of sensors can be very large. The task of each...
The deployment of thousands of tiny devices inter-networked together and accessible through the Internet is the result of the increasing trend towards enabling the concepts of Internet-of-Things. As these devices may be scattered in a unplanned way, a routing protocol is needed. The RPL protocol is the IETF proposed standard protocol for IPv6-based multi-hop Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). RPL requires...
In this work, an energy efficient routing technique for WSNs is introduced. Here the routes between the source nodes and the base station are formed considering the energy levels of the intermediate nodes. These routes are refreshed dynamically to recover topology changes and to keep the energy level of the nodes close to each other. The technique introduced together with data aggregation are implemented...
