Internet of Things is an evolution from computer networks to a network of interconnected objects such as books, cars, sensors, etc… In recent years, interest in the applications of Wireless Body Area Networks (BANs), have grown significantly and this opens up an important number of challenges such as mobility management. Locator/Id Split Protocol (LISP) deals with the traditional IP problems like...
After big disasters, a damaged area can be out of contact because of severe damage of existing network infrastructures. Meanwhile, high demands for network connections to the disaster area will arise to collect damage information and disseminate rescue instructions. In this paper, we propose to construct a network for disaster management using mobile stations equipped with sensors and network interfaces...
Both GPS and WiFi based localization have been exploited in recent years, yet most researches focus on localizing at home without environment context. Besides, the near home or workplace area is complex and has little attention in smart home or IOT. Therefore, after exploring the realistic route in and out of building, we conducted a time localization system (TLS) based on off-the-shelf smart phones...
The use of Mobile ad hoc networking is a growing trend that encompasses a wide spectrum of application domains, including health care, defense, crisis management and others. In common, they all require quick deployment, dynamic communications, and security assurance. Although substantial effort has been put into the security aspect, the results so far have not been enough to claim high levels of information...
The Internet of Things (IoT) network is typified by deployments such as a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). These WSN's are commonly deployed within a target area for a specific task such as farm monitoring and asset movement control. A group of sensors are typically led by a Personal Area Network Coordinator (PANC). In some situations like in large scale greenhouse monitoring, mobile PANC are required...
In the past decade, due to increasingly challenging traffic conditions in large cities, pollution and safety issues, the development of intelligent transportation systems gained a significant interest due to the potential they present for traffic optimization. The current paper describes the MobiWay Integrated Platform for the development of Intelligent Transportation Systems which provides the infrastructure...
The prevalence of wearable devices brought questions about their impact on user habits, use cases and future developments. Will users continue to use smart phones even if they have high capacity wearable devices? If that will be the case, for which reason people will continue to carry smartphones with them? User mobility and soft application usage correlation is an important research area for setting...
In the high-speed train, passengers want infotainment services which provide users with useful information about the area they are passing by, or information about their destination. This paper introduces dynamic SNS for train application which enriches user experiences with ad-hoc group chatting, contents sharing, recommendation based on user preference and location, and train environment information...
The emergent importance of the sleep medicine together with the rapid adoption of mobile devices and wearables along with a growing habit for using these devices on the daily-living activities offer an opportunity to use them as a sleep monitor. Traditional sleep monitoring systems, such as polysomnography, involves a myriad of sensors attached around the patients' body, and therefore is limited to...
Mobile sensors are expected to play a significant role in the next generation Internet of Things (IoT) networks, with sensors in vehicles, drones, robots and more. These mobile sensors participate in data gathering for various application scenarios. Some applications are information intensive in that huge chunks of data are required in order to make informative decisions. However, mobility in Wireless...
Mobile ad hoc networking may be used to accomplish different tasks at several applications fields with a variety of purposes as healthy care, defense, crisis management and others emergence situations. In common, they all require quick deployment, dynamic communication and security assurance. Although a lot of effort has been taken concerning the security aspect, it is hard to achieve information-theoretically...
Cognitive radio (CR) network technology is widely used as a approach to the solve the scarce radio spectrum by allowing the unlicensed users to access the licensed spectrum. Since in the CR network, the licensed users are easily be affected by the introduce of the unlicensed user, we have to avoid to bring the interference to the licensed users when the unlicensed users try to transmit the data on...
Although crowdsourcing can provide a large amount of information through mobile devices and mobile users, the information provided by them may be inaccurate. Various truth analysis techniques have been proposed to identify truth from the noisy data either in a heuristic manner or using statistical models. However, if the available data are limited or have large conflicts, it is difficult to identify...
The emerging wireless energy transfer technology based on Radio Frequency (RF) is a promising technology for wireless rechargeable sensor networks (WRSN) as it can charge sensor nodes simultaneously. In this paper, we use a mobile charger to stay at some locations and stay for certain time at each location to charge all the nodes in the network. We first define a power-charging function for the whole...
In this paper, we study data collection in mobile wireless sensor networks (WSNs) assisted by unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). We focus on randomly deployed mobile sensors along a predefined path with different but constant velocities, and a flying UAV in different heights to collect data from the mobile sensors. As the network topology is changing under the mobility of the UAV and the sensor nodes,...
In the course of studies structural sensors for monitoring schemes cover mobile network operator's area are proposed. Three main types of sensors are developed, which are intended to be placed on transport and stationary. Sensors collect data about the state of the cellular network signal into the measurement location and shipment to Web-Server is made. The main transmission channels from the sensors...
One of the fundamental problems in wireless sensor networks is providing area coverage to fulfill a certain task. This problem in directional sensor networks is more challenging because of limited sensing angle of directional sensors. This paper addresses the problem of deployment and orientation of a specific number of directional sensor nodes in order to maximize the area coverage. First, we present...
Wireless sensor network is spatially distributed sensors with limited battery life and buffer capacity, in disaster prone sensor network event occurrence ratio is very high, in such situations there are lot of chances of congestion and data loss, reliable data collection in such situation is very challenging task, the proposed tour strategy with ADCN will help to reduce the data loss with tour strategy...
In Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks (MWSN), during routing, there may be an increase in congestion levels. It is required to automatically alter the traffic rate accordingly. In this paper, we propose to design an intra and inter cluster congestion control technique for MWSN. In intra-cluster congestion control, the Cluster Head (CH) proactively monitors the congestion within the cluster each time...
