Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) use mobile actuators for data gathering, which can effectively reduce the energy loss caused by data forwarding and prolong the network lifetime. However, mobile data gathering can't fundamentally change the fact that the energy of sensor nodes is limited. In this paper, to reduce the energy consumption due to data forwarding in wireless sensor networks, an emergency...
This paper proposes an innovative Internet of Things (IoT) architecture that allows real time interaction between mobile clients and smart/legacy things (sensors and actuators) via a wireless gateway. The novel services provided are: (i) dynamic discovery of M2M device and endpoints by the clients, (ii) managing connection with non-smart things connected over modbus, (iii) associate metadata to sensor...
This paper presents the design and implementation of a wireless sensor and actuator network (WSAN) system for calling home robots in indoor environments. The proposed system consists of a network of wireless pyroelectric infrared (PIR) sensor nodes and a mobile actuator node. The PIR sensor nodes are deployed on the ceiling of a room to form a grid topology. The location of a person within the detection...
This talk will consist in an overview about the majore search projects related to wireless multimedia, context aware computing and wireless ad hoc and sensor networks, distributed and collaborative virtual environment, which we are currently investigating at PARADISE Research Laboratory, uOttawa. Next, we shall focus upon the design of large-scale distributed and mobile system for critical conditions...
In wireless sensor and actuator networks nodes can fail and the link quality can fluctuate rapidly over time. With the start of the pervasive revolution, issues like scalability and mobility must be tackled in these low-power and lossy networks. We propose and evaluate two mechanisms, path resumption and cost based multipath routing, which can help existing or new local path recovery techniques to...
Wireless sensor-actuator networks (WSANs) can be useful to cope with the connectivity limitations of sparse networks by allowing powerful and mobile actuators periodically collect data from sensors. We propose a low-overhead algorithm that takes advantage of any potential connectivity present in sensors to form clusters that can expose single collection points, therefore, optimizing actuator data...
