This paper focuses on the wireless monitoring sensor networks (WMSNs), where provide relay connectivity for the low capacity and power devices to monitor or sense the events in a monitoring area. In this paper, we propose the relay OFDMA resource allocation methods of coloring resource allocation, static resource allocation and dynamic resource allocation to improve the finite resource of time and...
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) come across various challenges when it comes to its design and operations which cause major degradation in their performance. With increasing number of applications having their own different limitations, make the challenge of application expectations even greater for such resource limited networks. These challenges appear at different layers of WSNs starting from physical...
A volcano monitoring system plays a key role for launching emergency early warning, and the use of alternative technologies have proven their effectiveness in this setting, which is the case of wireless sensor networks. For surveillance systems, the real-time requirement is mandatory due to the need for immediate access to the signals derived from a natural disaster where the goal is safeguarding...
Recent expansion of the computer networks has opened a possibility of explosive spread of computer viruses. Viral spreads that attack the end user or the nodes and hence the traffic on the network increases by self duplication and perpetuation. The net effect is, increase of senseless throughput spiraling, multiplication of load, and increased delay, leading to severe congestion and crash. Thus there...
Blackhole and greyhole attacks can cause severe problems in Delay- and Disruption-Tolerant Networks (DTNs), where connectivity is intermittent and long delays are actually the norm. Traditional security protocols cannot completely address such problems in DTNs, hence an efficient algorithm to detect malicious nodes in DTNs is imperative. In this paper, we propose a misbehavior detection system to...
Service Overlay Networks (SONs) provide new complex services in the Internet without requiring major changes to underlying physical networks. A SON is an overlay network made up of virtual nodes and links on top of the existing infrastructure. Whenever a client requests a specific service, such as streaming a video on his mobile device, the SON creates a path on the fly to deliver the video stream...
Large parts of today's software systems are devoted to detecting and recovering from failures, making exception handling a critical issue in software development. Concurrent software complicates this issue: most concurrent programming languages require a mechanism to deal with asynchronous exceptions, but because of the diverse design choices underlying each language, no approach fits all situations...
Quality of experience of web services is negatively influenced by system delays. To quantify delay and resulting user satisfaction quality evaluation experiments are used, but they typically disregards users' tasks and content of the website as a part of the assessment procedure. The goal of this study is to explore impact of a user's task, information presentation such as per-element load durations...
Several approaches for fault-tolerance in distributed systems were introduced; however, they require prior knowledge of the environment's operating conditions and/or constant monitoring of these conditions at run time. That allows the applications to adjust the load and redistribute the tasks when failures occur. These techniques work well when there is no high communication delay. Yet, this is not...
This paper proposes the use of ROs (Ring Oscillators) for process shift and process spread detection for silicon debugging and model-hardware correlation. ROs are designed to be sensitive to either nMOSFET orpMOSFET variation, thus the location of the chip in the process spacecan be detected directly from the RO measurements. Test chip measurements in a 65-nm process shows the validity of the proposed...
As information security chips are more widely used in the field of information security, the security of chips becomes increasingly important, which has also been a hot research field of information security. With the advances in technology, a chip-invasive method of attack which uses laser or focused ion beam (FIB) to change the chip's internal signal line, and then probe the chip's secret information...
Although many electronic safety-related systems require very high reliability, it is becoming harder and harder to achieve it because of delay-related failures, which are caused by decreased noise margin. This paper describes a technology named DART and its implementation. The DART repeatedly measures the maximum delay of a circuit and the amount of degradation in field, in consequence, confirms the...
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) contain sensor nodes powered by limited batteries. How to solve the tension between real-time reactivity to external events and energy saving for long lifetime is one major challenge. Duty cycle scheduling provides a method to balance the tension based on the application scenarios. However, time critical WSN applications often put strict requirements on both ends, quick...
Wide Area Network monitoring has become increasingly important to deliver QoS demanded by customers of Skype, Facebook, Twitter etc or to detect/prevent attacks on networks carrying out sensitive tasks e.g. SCADA networks controlling the electrical grid. Unfortunately the task of monitoring paths becomes increasingly prohibitive as the size of the network increases. Fortunately, recent research has...
Nowadays, with increase in ageing population, Health care market keeps growing. There is a need for monitoring of Health issues. Body Area Network consists of wireless sensors attached on or inside human body for monitoring vital Health related problems e.g, Electro Cardiogram (ECG), ElectroEncephalogram (EEG), ElectronyStagmography(ENG) etc. Data is recorded by sensors and is sent towards Health...
In this paper, we present analytical study of routing overhead of reactive routing protocols for Wireless Multihop Networks (WMhNs). To accomplish the framework of generalized routing overhead, we choose Ad-Hoc on Demand Distance Vector (AODV), Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) and Dynamic MANET on Demand (DYMO). Considering basic themes of these protocols, we enhance the generalized network models by...
The consistent performance, energy efficiency, and reliability are important factors for real-time monitoring of a patient's data, especially in a hospital environment. In this paper a routing protocol is proposed by considering the Quality of Service requirements of the body area network data packets. A mechanism for handling delay-sensitive packets is provided by this protocol. Extensive simulations...
In-band spectrum sensing protocols require that the secondary users (SU's) periodically suspend their transmission periods and sense the channel in order to determine whether the primary user (PU) has emerged or not. There is a tradeoff between the spectrum sensing period and the throughput of the SU, often referred to as sensing-throughput tradeoff. In this paper, using the receiver error count,...
Active network measurements play an important role not only in network monitoring for OAM purposes, but also in assessing the current network status and providing real-time information for the optimization of applications. This paper proposes the extension of SNMP-based monitoring mechanisms to also support active in-network measurements conforming to the standardized OWAMP protocol. A specialized...
Condition monitoring of smart grid assets in a near real time manner is essential for the success of emerging smart grid applications. Wireless Sensor and Actor Networks (WSANs) are likely to be widely employed in a wide range of smart grid applications due to their various advantages. Transmitting delay-critical data from smart grid assets to the controller base station may require data prioritization...
