An intelligent wireless sensor network based on ZigBee technology with cognitive function is designed in this study. Sensors collect sensed data, include spectral parameters of 2.4G channels. These data are transmitted to coordinator by RF modules. ARM processor in the coordinator receives data. It gets the information of the idle channel and controls the channel conversion after the operation of...
Human monitoring is important in a wide range of applications and, most notably, in health management. Within the Active and Assisted Living (AAL) framework, human monitoring techniques have particular relevance: among AAL purposes is that of applying ambient intelligence paradigm to enable older adults or people with specific demands to live longer and independently in their homes, reducing the need...
Fire is one of the few disasters that frequently occurred in Indonesia. Jakarta has archived 1139 fire incident with more than 20 casualties in 2016. By the rapid development of information technology and communication in Indonesia, it turns out that the number of incident and casualty still cannot be suppressed. This research is focused on early fire detection and home monitoring based on Wireless...
We review two generations of smart bandages and sensors developed in our group. These devices are capable of monitoring and treating chronic wounds through O2, pH and strain measurement and on-demand drug delivery. First we seek to close the gap between patient and caregivers through continuous monitoring of wound healing status with oxygenation measurements coupled with wireless data acquisition...
Fall has become a serious medical problem, and sometimes leading to physical disabilities and death. This led researchers to pursue automatic monitoring systems for detecting the falls before they occur. Much of the existing efforts have successfully achieved a hardware system which provides a fall pattern after and prior to the fall. However, the existing fall detection systems are still deficient...
As interest in using Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) for deployments in scenarios such as asset monitoring increases, the need to consider security and privacy issues also becomes greater. One such issue is that of Source Location Privacy (SLP) where the location of a source in the network needs to be kept secret from a malicious attacker. Many techniques have been proposed to provide SLP against...
As the widespread deployment and usage of 802.11-based wireless local area networks (WLANs), Wi-Fi users are vulnerable to be attacked by a security threat called evil twins. The evil twin, a kind of rogue access points (RAPs), masquerades as a legitimate access point (AP) to lure users to connect it. Malicious adversaries can easily configure evil twins on a laptop to induce victim wireless users...
The significant advance of the Internet allows the inclusion of concepts like IoT (Internet of Things) and Cloud Computing. Nowadays, the deployment of systems and platforms of IoT and cloud facilitate the monitoring and remote management in different areas. However, The structural health monitoring presents networks with centralized topology, deployment of local data and a poor acquisition of seismic...
The analysis of multimodal data collected by innovative imaging sensors, Internet of Things (IoT) devices and user interactions, can provide smart and automatic distant monitoring of patients and reveal valuable insights for early detection and/or prevention of events related to their health situation. In this paper, we present a platform called ICT4LIFE which starting from low-level data capturing...
We live in the age when all things are becoming smarter, wireless and more connected. A lot of products and devices which we use in our daily lives are already smart. Furthermore, our living spaces are becoming smarter like Smart houses, and pervasive environments are nowadays no longer science fiction but rather more and more realistic. In this work, we propose a smart sensor in wireless network...
Advances in the information and communication technologies have led to the emergence of Internet of Thing(IoT). IoT allows many physical devices to capture transmit data, through the internet, providing more data interoperability methods. Nowadays IoT plays an important role not only in communication, but also in monitoring, recording, storage and display. Hence the latest trend in Healthcare communication...
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are strongly useful to monitor physical and environmental conditions to provide realtime information for improving environment quality. However, deploying a WSN in a physical environment faces several critical challenges such as high energy consumption, and data loss.In this work, we have proposed a reliable and efficient environmental monitoring system in ponds using...
Monitoring of partial discharge (PD) activity within high voltage electrical environments is frequently used for the assessment of insulation condition. Traditional measurement techniques employ technologies that require either offline installation or high power consumption and cost. A wireless sensor network is proposed that utilizes only received signal strength to locate partial discharge within...
Several monitoring oriented applications in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are characterized by the necessity of two data-reporting modes: time-driven and event-driven. The former is used mainly for constantly supervising an area and the latter for event detection and target tracking. By switching between both modes a WSN can improve its energy-efficiency and accuracy of measurement processes, compared...
