Recent advances and development of wireless sensor network are based on low-cost, low-power and multifunctional solutions of the sensor nodes. Sensor Networks are very much data concentric and dependent on the performance of the sensor nodes. Sensing the network, processing data and broadcasting to other nodes are common jobs for the sensor node. The positions of the node are not fixed in the network...
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) consist of small nodes with sensing, computation and wireless communications capabilities. These sensor networks interconnect a several other nodes when established in large and this opens up several technical challenges and immense application possibilities. These wireless sensor networks communicate using multi-hop wireless communications, regular ad hoc routing techniques...
This paper proposes a new approach to save energy in a wireless sensor network (WSN) in which sensors lie on a uniform rectangular grid. At each data-acquisition/sampling instant, only a randomly selected subset of all the sensor nodes acquires and transmits the data. This problem can be solved by semi-definite programming, which is based on fixed point continuation with Bregman iterations.
The main objective of sensor deployment problem in Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is to use minimum number of sensor nodes with given sensing range that can cover any target in the coverage area to monitor the environment. The optimal sensor deployment enables accurate sensing information on target behavior with minimum sensing range and number of sensor nodes. The target coverage terrain in a locality...
It is essential to equip the sensor nodes with simple and efficient coverage boundary detection mechanisms for ensuring the network reliability and providing the required quality of service. The existing coverage boundary detection solutions require accurate knowledge of the sensors locations,which cannot be easily obtained, or they cannot provide guarantees on the coverage quality. Therefore, we...
A major concern in wireless sensor networks is to maximize network lifetime while maintaining a high quality of service at each round, which includes target coverage and network connectivity. There are two competing objectives presented to determine where to place the sensor nodes, the coverage rate and the number of working nodes. And then a novel algorithm for selecting the optimal coverage set...
A wireless sensor network (WSN) consists of autonomous devices equipped with sensors to cooperatively monitor certain physical or environmental phenomena, such as temperature, vibration, pressure, or pollutants, at different locations. These devices called sensor nodes (SNs) have sensing, computation and wireless communication capabilities. One of the significant features of SNs is their limited battery...
In this paper, we propose a caching scheme for wireless sensor networks which exploits cooperation among various sensor nodes in a zone formed around few sensor nodes. Zones are created by using dual radio mode of sensor nodes i.e. high and low power transmission ranges define zone size. In order to realize much larger cumulative cache, a node along with its own storage utilizes storage of sensor...
In the development of various large-scale sensor systems, a particularly challenging problem is how to dynamically organize the sensor nodes into clusters and route the sensing information to a remote base station. By leveraging the spatial correlation, there have been some noteworthy clustering schemes proposed recently, such as EEDC and ASAP. However, they are based on an impractical assumption...
