Over the last decade, there has been a trend where water utility companies aim to make water distribution networks more intelligent in order to improve their quality of service, reduce water waste, minimize maintenance costs etc., by incorporating IoT technologies. Current state of the art solutions use expensive power hungry deployments to monitor and transmit water network states periodically in...
The one of the major difficulties in deploying a wireless sensor to monitor debris flow in the real world is power consumption. Frequently replacing the battery of a sensor that is located in a remote mountainous area is not practical. In this study we examine the newly-introduced wireless debris flow sensor, SMARTCONE, which is designed to minimize the standby power consumption, but still keep alert...
The idea of Internet of Things has grown into multiple dimensions, encompassing also the industrial world leading to initiatives like Factories of the Future (FoF) or Industrial Internet. Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks (WSAN) play an important role in this professional domain. Their successful deployment in real-world applications calls for advanced testing and debugging effort in advance....
In this paper, we propose an Error Tolerant Dual-Hydrophone Localization method, i.e., ET-DHL, in underwater sensor networks (USNs). To reduce the impact of the node uncertainty, measurement uncertainty, poor link quality and long latency for underwater localization problem, ET-DHL adds bit-level probability to process the binary sequence. Different from our previous work PCM, each dual-hydrophone...
Wireless Sensor Networks are installed in hostile areas. The security issues in wireless sensor networks are very important. Getting secure links between nodes is a challenging problem in WSNs. They are more vulnerable to security attacks than wired networks. In order to protect the sensitive data in WSN can be protected using secret keys to encrypt the exchanged messages between communicating nodes...
The health monitoring system is one of the trendy research areas of Wireless Senor Network (WSN) which helps the users, to use sensor strategy to sense signals, physiological events of the patients and alert the users. Traditional sensors have restrictions such as positions, wired communication between the sensor modules provide the patients not to move them freely. Traditional methods have difficulties...
Nowadays, in any airborne platform like Fighters, helicopter or a transport aircraft there are thousands of sensors which are used to measure various parameters (temperature, level, pressure, positions and more) and the results are then conveyed through the wires to the on board computers that process them. Therefore, the interconnections of multiple sensors results in a great amount of cables (normally,...
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) consist of densely distributed sensor nodes with embedded low computational power CPU, limited storage and low power radios. WSNs are widely used to monitor environmental conditions, such as temperature, sound, and vibration and pressure, in disaster relief, home monitoring etc. Sensors need to provide precise timely information in military and health applications....
This paper describes the work carried out on the implementation of a wireless sensor network that was created for a data center using the 6LoWPAN communication protocol which monitors power consumption readings at various nodes in the system. A direct current (DC) network controller was designed to distribute DC energy through the system and provide power to a data center load in future buildings...

Obviously, location information ismaintained by Location-Based Services provided bynetwork nodes in a distributed way. The...
This paper introduces a network operation and management system for Korean fir ecosystem monitoring. Its purpose is to collect information on the habitat surrounding environment, including soil moisture, tree diameter growth of information, based on wireless sensor network which is one of ICT technology. The environmental information including temperature, humidity, illuminance, Co2, rainfall, soil...
Wireless Sensor Network formed by huge number sensors, used to detect the physical conditions and environmental conditions. These sensors have very small computing capability and less storage. This limits its use in medical health applications. Additional Storage capacity can be achieved by cloud computing. Cloud computing is one of the innovative paradigm which provides computing resources such as...
In recent years, healthcare applications are regarded as hopeful fields for wireless sensor networks, where the patients have been monitored in hospitals and at their accommodating places. These wireless medical sensor networks are more endangered to intruding, modification, eavesdropping, impersonation and playback attacks than the wired networks. A lot of solutions have been developed to secure...
With the development of science and technology and lifestyle changes, people's idea focuses on improving the health environment by using Information Technology to provide warning and prediction.
