Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) have gained worldwide attention in recent years, particularly with which has facilitated the development of smart sensors. WSN consists of small nodes with sensing, computation and wireless communication capabilities. In WSN, clustering is used as an effective technique to achieve scalability, self-organization, power saving, channel access, routing etc. Lifetime of...
In this paper, the ASWP testbed, a long-term wireless sensor network (WSN) deployment for environmental monitoring, is presented. This testbed implements a periodic sampling application for external sensors exposed to a forested outdoor environment in western Pennsylvania, USA. It has been running for the past two years using TinyOS-based WSN platforms and the commercially available routing software...
Nerve Net is a concept of regional wireless access platform where multiple service providers can provide their own services with the shared use of the network and sensors, making various context-aware services practical. It works as the nervous system of the human beings. Densely located, interconnected access points with database and data processing unit will provide mobility to terminals without...
M2M communication is expected to be a major driver of growth in mobile communications. This paper explores the vast market size of M2M and compares the different telecommunication technologies suitable to serve this market. The paper considers some future challenges in applying 3GPP LTE technology to M2M networks.
The development of a wireless sensor network (WSN) gateway is challenging for sites where limited infrastructures lead to frequent power shortages and and network unreliability. In this paper we presents a low-power, low-cost, 802.15.4 and 802.11 compatible solution which uses open source software to meet local conditions. Using the SunSPOT motes on a system which is mostly platform independent, our...
A scheme that exploits the broadcast nature of the wireless communication in order to achieve multicast content delivery is presented in this paper. As opposed to broadcasting, this method enables the clients to determine on-line the delivered content, and thus preserves the advantages of an individual service. On the other hand, a multicast content delivery is much more efficient than a unicast content...
Expected growth in use and implementation of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) in different environments and for different applications creates new security challenges. In WSNs, a malicious node may initiate incorrect path information, change the contents of data packets, and even hijack one or more genuine network nodes. As the network reliability completely depends on individual nodespsila presence...
