In mission critical applications of wireless sensor networks (WSNs), multiple sinks can be associated to first responders such as firefighters, but also to unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). In such scenarios, data dissemination of events towards mobile sinks should be performed reliably. In this paper we present Honeycomb Architecture which enables data dissemination considering dynamic conditions...
We propose a four-layer architecture model (FLAM) to obtain the potential energy savings for sensor nodes in large scale wireless sensor networks. The very first layer, the bottom layer is a network of a resource-constrained sensor nodes deployed in the field. The second layer is ad hoc network formed by resource-rich dynamic sink nodes, also knows as cluster sink nodes. The third layer consists of...
The main goal of wireless sensor networks is to gather information from the region of interest through a large number of micro sensor nodes. This gathering is based on a communication architecture such as client/server which consumes a lot of power and doesn't take in consideration the information properties. In this paper, we propose a new communication architecture for wireless sensor networks based...
The ubiquitous use of mobile phones motivates the idea of dasiaparticipatory sensingpsila with a cell-phone based sensor network. In our work, we consider a layered architecture for a query-based urban monitoring application using mobile phones. The key contribution of the paper is a Data-Aware Layered Waiting (DA-LW) time aggregation protocol in cell-phone based wireless sensor networks. To motivate...
Considering the high packet losses and low, varying bandwidth of GPRS/EDGE network and limited computation power of handheld devices, we present and implement a novel SVC video-on-demand system for hand-held devices over GPRS/EDGE network. For the purpose of handling varying bitrate, we propose a priority based layer switching (PLS) adaptation scheme for SVC stream, which not only performs online...
This paper explores the attributes, layering models and objective functions in cross layer designs for mobile ad hoc wireless networks by taking all the statistical characteristics and constraints from the physical (PHY) layer, media access control (MAC) layer and network (NET) layer into consideration. This paper reviews the entire network optimization across all the PHY/MAC/NET layers. At the PHY...
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...
