Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are almost exclusively regarded as data gathering entities. Various sensed data elements are captured and routed back to a central server for processing, visualization and interpretation. ...
Sensor network MAC protocols typically sacrifice packet latency to achieve energy efficiency. Such delays may well increase due to routing protocol operation. For this reason it is imperative that we attempt to quantify ...
Within this paper, Sensorworld is proposed as a platform for the evaluation and comparison of resource-bounded intelligence, and its effectiveness is proven through the implementation of a series of simulations on ...
In wireless sensor networks, determining the set of locations to activate sensors, such that the amount of information received is maximised, is an important task. With the model driven approach to sensor networks, a ...
Many documented instances of existing research on Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) use deployments that either fall short of, or barely meet, the resource requirements of the application. In this paper, it is envisaged that ...
Recent advances in low-power wireless networking have enabled remote and nonintrusive access to households’ electric meter readings, allowing direct real-time feedback on electricity consumption to home owners and energy ...
Given the potential scale on which a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) can be deployed, multi-hop communication will
be a pivotal component of the system. When redundant nodes are deployed, which are hibernated opportunistically ...
The last few years have seen a wide adoption of the IEEE 802.15.4 MAC/PHY standard for low-power communication between
wireless sensor nodes. Within this work we study some fundamental drawbacks of the 802.15.4 specifications ...
