In this paper we present a simple methodology that utilizes the timing-bins in a globally synchronized wireless sensor network to broadcast event information throughout the network. The proposed scheme enables classification as well as per node localization of an event by using bins as hop-counts. A simple implementation of immediate neighborhood validation is also proposed to prevent false-trigger...
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) provide an extensible and effective means to monitor large and geographically diverse areas. Nodes in a WSN are characterized by very strict constraints in terms of computing power and energy consumption, as a result of which efficient and secure data aggregation techniques are being proposed as enabling technology for reducing network load, while at the same time providing...
This work addresses the problem of geographic routing in the presence of holes or voids in wireless sensor networks. We postulate that, once the boundary of the hole has been established, relying on the existing algorithms for bypassing it may cause severe depletion of the energy reserves among the nodes at (or near) that boundary. This, in turn, may soon render some of those nodes useless for any...
Due to the harsh operation conditions a wireless sensor network (WSN) may suffer large scale damage where many nodes fail simultaneously causing the network to get partitioned into multiple disjoint segments. Restoring network connectivity in such a case is very crucial to avoid negative effects on the application. This paper investigates a relay node (RN) placement strategy to establish inter-segment...
Today's access networks are increasingly shaped by the services that they provide to the end users. In a hybrid wireless-optical broadband access network (WOBAN), to access any service, connection requests require multi-hop communications over the wireless mesh network (WMN) and the Passive Optical Network (PON), and subsequently over the Internet to some server in the service provider's domain. To...
This paper investigates the use of a sensor network for localizing and tracking a moving target using only binary data. Due to the simple nature of the sensor nodes, sensing can be tampered (accidentally or maliciously), resulting in a significant number of sensor nodes reporting erroneous observations. Therefore, it is essential that any event tracking algorithm used in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs)...
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have a large number of applications, number of applications. Among them, the estimation of spatial processes from sparse sensing nodes is important for environmental monitoring. In this work we analyze the process estimation accuracy for a randomly deployed self-organizing WSN taking into account crucial aspects such as random sampling, nodes' connectivity, communications...
In this paper, we propose CStorage a fully distributed and efficient data storage scheme for wireless sensor networks (WSNs) based on compressive sensing (CS) techniques. CStorage requires much smaller number of transmissions compared to existing algorithms by exploiting the compressibility of the natural signals along with the broadcast property of wireless channels. In CStorage, after the probabilistic...
Coverage is considered as an important measure of quality of service provided by a wireless sensor network (WSN). Yet, coverage holes may appear in the target field due to random deployment, depletion of sensor power or sensor destruction. Discovering the boundaries of coverage holes is important for patching the sensor network. In this paper, we adopt two types of simplicial complexes called $\check{\textrm{C}}$ech...
End-to-end delay is an important QoS metric in sensor networks as well as any application that involves transferring of small-sized files. In this paper, we address how to minimize the end-to-end delay in a multihop wireless network. End-to-end delay is defined as the total time it takes for a single packet to reach the destination. It is a result of many factors including the length of the routing...
Erasure codes have been employed to achieve persistent storage in distributed storage networks. Recent work has shown that, in addition to reduction in storage space requirements, the communication bandwidth in the data regeneration process can be further reduced by using Regenerating Codes. In this paper, we consider the issue of energy- efficient data regeneration in wireless sensor networks with...
Critical homeland security applications such as monitoring zones contaminated by chemical or biological attacks and monitoring the spread of forest fires, require the timely creation of barrier of sensors along the border to be monitored. The strict time requirements and the hazardous nature of these contexts impede manual sensor positioning. Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks have the potential to meet...
This paper develops cross-layer techniques for routing rate-constrained traffic in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) with multichannel access capability. We first derive and prove sufficient conditions that ensure feasibility of data rates in multichannel access WSNs. Then, we use these conditions to devise routing approaches that maximize the network lifetime while ensuring that the obtained routing...
In wireless sensor networks, data aggregation protocols are employed to prolong the network lifetime. However, performing data aggregation while preserving security is a challenging problem. This paper presents a polynomial regression based secure data aggregation protocol in which sensor nodes represent their sensed data as polynomial functions. Instead of their original data, sensor nodes secretly...
Anonymous communication is a challenging task in resource constrained wireless sensor networks (WSN). However, anonymity is important for many sensor networks, in which we want to conceal the location and identify of important nodes (such as source nodes and base stations) from attackers. Existing WSN anonymous protocols either cannot achieve complete anonymity, or have large computation and/or storage...

It will be shown that using new generation cellular network structure, gives a basic improvement the infrastructure needed for gathering the information and taking a real time monitoring and control of a simplified model of a smart...
This work presents a multi-objective algorithm for jointly selecting the appropriate group of candidate sensors and optimizing the quantization for target tracking inWireless Sensor Networks (WSN). We focus on a more challenging problem of how to effectively utilize quantized sensor measurement for target tracking in sensor networks by considering sensors selection problem. Firstly, we jointly optimize...
In wireless sensor networks, multipath routing is used to alleviate reliability degradation due to multihop transmissions over error-prone wireless channels. However, multipath routing is not energy-efficient, as it requires all the nodes in the network to always be awake. To prolong the network lifetime while maintaining a certain reliability performance, we propose Sleeping Multipath Routing, which...
An Unattended Wireless Sensor Network (UWSN) collects the sensing data by using mobile sinks (MSs). It differs from the traditional multi-hop wireless sensor networks in which unbalanced traffic makes the sensors close to the base station deplete their power earlier than others. An UWSN can save the battery power and prolong the network lifetime. Unfortunately, MSs would be given too much privilege...
In wireless sensor networks, saving energy is crucial in order to increase the network lifetime. Energy is often saved by synchronizing the nodes activity, and having long periods of inactivity, or by having nodes exchange a global activity schedule. The synchronization and the exchange of a global schedule are two examples where information is boadcast from a specific node to the whole network. In...
