Wireless Sensor Networks
Wireless Information Highways, 1Co-Authors: Erdal CayirciAbstract:A wireless Sensor network is deployed either inside the phenomenon or very close to it. Unlike some existing sensing techniques, the position of Sensor network nodes need not be engineered or predetermined. This allows random deployment in inaccessible terrains. On the other hand, this also means that Sensor network protocols and algorithms must possess self-organizing capabilities. Another unique feature of Sensor Networks is the cooperative effort of Sensor nodes. Sensor network nodes are fitted with an onboard processor. Instead of sending the raw data to the nodes responsible for the fusion, Sensor network nodes use their processing abilities to locally carry out simple computations and transmit only the required and partially processed data. Realization of Sensor Networks requires wireless ad hoc networking techniques. In this chapter, we present a survey of protocols and algorithms proposed thus far for wireless Sensor Networks. Our aim is to provide a better understanding of the current research issues in this field. We also attempt an investigation into understanding design constraints and outline the use of certain tools to meet the design objectives.

Real-World Wireless Sensor Networks - Real-World Wireless Sensor Networks
Lecture Notes in Electrical Engineering, 2010Co-Authors: Koen Langendoen, Wen Hu, Federico Ferrari, Marco Zimmerling, Luca MottolaAbstract:This edited book presents the results of the 5th Workshop on Real-world Wireless Sensor Networks (REALWSN). The purpose of this workshop was to bring together researchers and practitioners working in the area of Sensor Networks, with focus on real-world experiments or deployments of wireless Sensor Networks. Included were, nonetheless, emerging forms of sensing such as those that leverage smart phones, Internet of Things, RFIDs, and robots. Indeed, when working with real-world experiments or deployments, many new or unforeseen issues may arise: the network environment may be composed of a variety of different technologies, leading to very heterogeneous network structures; software development for large scale Networks poses new types of problems; the performance of prototype Networks may differ significantly from the deployed system; whereas actual Sensor network deployments may need a complex combination of autonomous and manual configuration. Furthermore, results obtained through simulation are typically not directly applicable to operational Networks; it is therefore imperative for the community to produce results from experimental research. The workshop collected the state of the art in emerging and current research trends dealing with Real-world Wireless Sensor Networks, with the aim of representing a stepping stone for future research in this field

Wireless Sensor Networks
Computer, 2008Co-Authors: John A. StankovicAbstract:The confluence of inexpensive wireless communication, computation, and sensing has created a new generation of smart devices. Using tens to thousands of these devices in self-organizing Networks has created a new technology referred to as wireless Sensor Networks. This article gives an overview of the wireless Sensor Networks.
