This paper presents experimental verification of the performance of Group Centric Networking (GCN), a networking protocol developed for robust and scalable communications in lossy networks where users are localized to geographic areas, such as military tactical networks. Initial simulations in NS3 showed that GCN offers high delivery with low network overhead in the presence of high packet loss and...
In this paper, we propose, design and experiment an energy efficient protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) named Opportunistic Duty cYcle based routing protocol for wirelesS Sensor nEtworks (ODYSSE). The main key innovation of ODYSSE is that it judiciously makes use of three mechanisms. The first one is duty cycling which consists in randomly switching on/off transceivers to save energy. The...
Graph-based topology control adapts wireless topologies to achieve certain target graph structures. Wireless sensor networks seem well-suited for the expectations (in particular those on provided energy savings) raised by topology control. Nevertheless, topology control has never made the breakthrough in real-world deployments. This work explores the reasons for this, identifying five practical obstacles...
Multi-path routing concept was largely exploited in wireless networks to provide benefits such as fault tolerance, load balancing, performance improvement in terms of latency, etc. In this paper, we propose a multi-path routing based protocol named MP-IMRR (Multi-path Intra-Mesh infrastructure Routing protocol) to improve our previously defined QoS based routing protocol for wireless mesh networks...
Epidemic routing is considered useful for wireless mobile sensor networks where infrastructure support is limited and sensed information has to be disseminated in a timely manner. The relaying overhead of epidemic routing, however, needs to be reduced to conserve energy. In this paper, we study a new problem: what is a good strategy in epidemic routing to self-stop forwarding a message when a certain...
In a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) Nodes are distributed to monitor an area of interest such as a military battlefield, and transmit their data to in-situ Base-Station (BS) through multi-hop paths. In addition to collecting and processing the sensor data, the BS performs network management tasks. Due to such an important role, an adversary would try to locate the BS and target it with Denial-of-Service...
After a disaster, it is unlikely to expect current terrestrial infrastructures to provide the coverage and the Quality of Service required by emergency operators. Currently, PPDR operators go towards a portable LTE infrastructure that provides an access network to field operators, backhauled by a wireless mesh network that can route traffic from and towards Internet through a satellite gateway. We...
The overall support and trustworthiness among nodes in wireless environment to relay each other's packets expose them to a wide range of security attacks. Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) introduce a new standard of ambient supervision with many potential applications. The environment of wireless sensor networks and Mobile Ad-hoc networks make them very attractive to the challengers and they become...
Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) serve as a key enabling technology for various smart initiatives, such as Smart Power Grids, by virtue of providing a self-organized wireless communication superhighway that is capable of monitoring the health and performance of system assets as well as enabling efficient trouble shooting notifications. Despite this promise, the current routing protocols in WMNs are fairly...
A prototype system of Named Data Networking (NDN) wireless communication for Android is established based on NDN Forwarding Daemon (NFD). By porting NDN to Raspberry Pi and Android smartphone, the NDN-based Android application can connect to an NDN-supported access point built on Raspberry Pi, and communicate with remote NDN Testbed. As a contribution, this paper make a preliminary exploration on...
The introduction of wireless charging is a major breakthrough for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) as it can solve the bottleneck of a limited network lifetime. Wireless charging is done via mobile chargers (MCs) that go to the nodes and recharge them using magnetic resonant coupling. Coordination among the MCs and adapting the routing with the heterogeneous charge depletion rate of the nodes is crucial...
In the past few years, the Internet of Things is driving the need for extending the Internet to constrained devices, including sensors and actuators. The IPv6 Routing Protocol for Low power and lossy networks (RPL) is appearing as an emerging IETF standard especially tailored for Low Power Area Networks (6LoWPAN). RPL constructs a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) according to an objective function that...
Opportunistic Networks have been designed for transmitting data in difficult environments, characterized by high mobility, sporadic connectivity, and constrained resources. To sustain these networks, the literature describes methods such as Epidemic and Spray&Wait, which do not learn from the network behaviour, and Gossiping-based algorithms that collect historical network data to improve efficiency...
In ad hoc networks, backoff-based OR (opportunistic routing) protocols, which autonomously selects a forwarder among the potential forwarders based on a random backoff time, have been proposed. However, each potential forwarder must wait for the backoff time to avoid packet collisions among receivers. In addition, the terminal density strongly affects the performance since the backoff-based OR protocols...
The emergence of Network-on-Chip (NoC) as a communication paradigm for Multi-Processor System-on-Chips (MPSoCs) significantly exacerbates the need to provide a methodology that optimizes the energy consumption of the overall system. This is especially important when factoring in current Network-on-Chip advances which have multiple communication media such as on-chip wireless or nano-photonics links,...
The effectiveness and the simple implementation of physical layer jammers make them an essential threat for wireless networks. In a multihop wireless network, where jammers can interfere with the transmission of user messages at intermediate nodes along the path, one can employ jamming oblivious routing and then employ physical-layer techniques (e.g., spread spectrum) to suppress jamming. However,...
Wireless Sensor Networks need energy efficient protocols for communication and data fusion to consolidate data and prolong the lifetime of the network. In this paper, an adaptive hierarchical clustering and routing method has been proposed. This clustering and routing method is based on maximum bottleneck energy routing (MBER) from a node to the sink. This method favors the routes with the highest...
