A business model for the provision of wireless sensor network (WSN)-based services is proposed, where there exist three roles in the market: the WSNs, which provide sensing data; the service providers, which gather the data and compose useful services for the users; and end users. We assess an affine pricing scheme for the acquisition of the WSNs data and analyze the model in a duopoly scenario by...
We consider a Wireless Sensor Network where each sensor device is able to harvest energy from the environment, and randomly accesses the channel to transmit packets of random importance to a fusion center. If a collision occurs, the transmission fails and all packets involved are discarded. We design distributed transmission schemes where each sensor node, based on its own energy level and the importance...
In this technical note, we focus on a control based surveillance application using a wireless sensor network in which information from the network is used to actively guide a mobile agent leading to eventual pursuit of one or more evaders in a large region. We exploit distance sensitivity as a locality concept in designing a scalable pursuit control system that accounts for network constraints. Specifically,...
With the rapid development of wireless Internet services, several WLAN service providers may coexist in one public hotspot to compete for the same group of customers, leading to an inevitable price competition. The charged price and the provisioned packet loss at each provider are major factors in determining users' demands and behaviors, which in turn will affect providers' revenue and social welfare...
Three applications in wireless networks where model-free stochastic learning is applicable, are discussed. The learning based optimization problems are formulated and simulation results are presented. Some open issues are also discussed.
