The border region monitoring task can be achieved using surveillance wireless sensor networks. The network detects trespassers and inform the sink node. There are many mobility models proposed for users within an ad hoc network. On the other hand, the behavior of trespassers are generally different than mobile users and does not follow a random pattern. Observations from previous security related...
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have been of high interest during the past couple of years. One of the most important aspects of WSN research is location estimation. As a good solution of fine grained localization Reichenbach et al. introduced the Distributed Least Squares (DLS) algorithm, which splits the costly localization process in a complex precalculation and a simple postcalculation which is...
Based on the concept of hybrid shift-invariant spaces, we develop a distributed protocol for the reconstruction of time-varying physical fields in wireless sensor networks. The localized nature of these spaces allows for a clustered network architecture that leads to low communication overhead. Capitalizing on the sparsity of the reconstruction matrix, we propose an iterative reconstruction algorithm...
In a wireless sensor network (WSN), the sensors closest to the sink tend to deplete their energies faster than the other sensors, which is known as an energy hole around the sink. To avoid this, a new scheme for placing nodes, via adjusting surface densities and initial energies in each ring in a ring model, is proposed in this paper. A new definition of network efficiency, including the consideration...
Heterogeneous wireless sensor networks provide endless opportunities due to their extendable capabilities such as different computing power and sensing range, but at the same time pose formidable challenges, because of the fact that energy is a scarce and usually non-renewable resources. Deployment of sensor nodes in a sensor network is a critical task as deployment should be optimum to increase network...
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...
Sensor network lifetime is largely affected by the energy consumption for data transmission from sensor nodes to a base station. We generalize and solve the problems of deploying multiple base stations in sensor networks using one-hop and multi-hop communication models to maximize network lifetime. Under the one-hop communication model, the sensors far away from base stations always deplete their...
The traditional task of a sensor network is data collection and aggregation for further processing. In the case of mobile networks this is usually done via wireless technologies. However, with the establishment of mobility another problem occurs: The question of the actual location of the measured data. This paper proposes a localisation scheme for Wireless LAN, where an existing WLAN infrastructure...
In this paper, we propose a hybrid approach to the wireless sensor network (WSN) localization problem. The proposed approach harnesses the strengths of two techniques: RF mapping and cooperative ranging, to overcome the potential weaknesses in one another. The idea is to first allow every node to obtain an initial estimate of its own position in a neighbor-independent way using a coarse-grained RF...
In this paper, we consider the general class of coverage and clustering problems in a dynamic environment, and propose a computationally efficient framework to address them. We define the problem of achieving instantaneous coverage as a combinatorial optimization problem in a Maximum Entropy Principle framework. We then extend the framework to a dynamic environment, thereby allowing us to address...
Layout is an important issue in designing sensor networks. This paper brings a new idea for the positioning of nodes in a wireless sensor network. The sensors communicate with each other to transmit their data to a high energy communication node which acts as an interface between data processing unit and sensors. Optimization of sensor locations is essential to provide communication for a longer duration...
