Emergency communication has been intensively investigated for solving suddenly-occurred events of public safety. Wireless network can play an important role of information acquisition and command decision-making in disaster areas, so a new Wireless Emergency Communication (WEC) algorithm is proposed in this paper. This algorithm possesses the characteristics of quick, stability, low energy and high...
Industrial wireless mesh networks are deployed in harsh and noisy environments for process measurement and control applications. Compared with wireless community networks, they have more stringent requirements on communication reliability and real-time performance. Missing or delaying of the process data by the network may severely degrade the overall control performance. In this paper, we abstract...
6LoWPAN is for IPv6 packets to be sent to and received from over IEEE 802.15.4 based networks for applications which require wireless internet connectivity at lower data rates for devices. However it is well known that the management of addresses for devices that communicate across the two dissimilar domains of IPv6 and IEEE802.15.4 is complicated. Routing itself is another problem especially between...
Ever increasing demand for more bandwidth over the Internet has lead to the development of many new technologies and architectures. Among these, Hybrid of Wireless and Optical networks have become increasingly important because of their “mobility” and “flexibility” in the wireless part and “robustness” and “high capacity”...
Fiber-wireless (FiWi) access mesh networks have been proposed as flexible and cost-effective solutions for future access networks. However, for FiWi access mesh networks to provide end-to-end QoS guarantees to its customers, efficient QoS routing schemes and scheduling policies become necessary. Here we provide a model, using repeated game theory, that creates ground for scheduling policies to be...
In wireless multihop networks, route selection plays an important role in network performance in terms of throughput capacity, as well as, energy efficiency. In general, the route selection strategy should distribute the traffic throughout the network, in order to avoid congestion. This strategy also has the side-effect of distributing the energy consumption among all nodes, so that the energy starvation...
The main design challenge in wireless sensor networks is to achieve satisfactory network lifetimes under scarce energy resources available at the nodes. In this paper we present an optimization framework for maximizing lifetime of a network in which opportunistic routing together with random linear network coding is used. We propose a scheme in which each node attempts to receive transmissions from...

Voice quality of different scenarios such as indoor, corridor, corner and outdoor are tested. It is resulted that good...
In recent years, security risks of equipment are very prominent. In order to ensure normal operations, equipment inspection is required to standardization. Information technology is an important means of ensuring the safe operation of equipment. In this paper, a new equipment inspection system based on Zigbee is presented. This system is composed of data management center, wireless gateway, wireless...
Applying WSN (wireless sensor networks) technology to the fire safety can actualize wireless requirement, network, and intelligent fire monitoring. A wireless fire detection system based on WSN was described in the thesis, which can acquire data of temperature and smoke concentration. Fire detection nodes using SOC CC2430 as the control unit to realize the communication between nodes, the software...
Wireless sensors have started being utilized for industrial application which is typical harsh environment due to complicated layout and plentiful stationary/moving obstacles. As two hot standards for wireless industrial, WiHART and ISA100.11a, both adopt the centralized wireless sensor network with mesh topology to enable the reliable monitoring of a variety of environments. This kind of network...
In wireless mesh networks (WMNs), a station (STA) often has a group of candidate access points (APs) to be associated with. How to select the most appropriate AP has been an open problem. In IEEE 802.11 standards, the STA simply chooses the one with the strongest RSSI. Since this AP selection strategy can cause severe network load unbalance, many new methods have been proposed. However, these solutions...
Wireless mesh networks are dynamically self-organized and self-configured, with the nodes in the network automatically establishing and maintaining mesh connectivity among them. Wireless mesh networks consist of three types of nodes: clients, routers and gateways. Wireless Mesh Network planning consists of determining the amount of routers needed to meet the demands for Internet access. It is a complicated...
