To satisfy the requirements, existing studies exploit nodes whose speed is higher than the desired delivery speed decided by the spatiotemporal approach. However, they fail real-time transmission in the area where there is no neighbor nodes which meet the requirements toward a sink since the desired delivery speed is fixed. This paper proposes a scheme to pass the area using time gain which occurs by the nature of the existing real-time transmission scheme. Thus, in the area, a sending node could make full use of nodes which do not satisfy the requirements. In the end, the packet passes across the area with a lower speed than the desired delivery speed. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme is superior in terms of real-time transmission success ratio to the existing schemes.","PeriodicalId":137855,"journal":{"name":"2016 15th ACM/IEEE International Conference on Information Processing in Sensor Networks (IPSN)","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123959305","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper thus studies crash-failures of destination nodes in distance-vector routing, that is, failures of so-called DODAG root nodes. First, it demonstrates empirically that handling root node crashes in existing state-of-the-art routing protocols leaves room for improvement or even fails completely in some cases. Second, based on an analysis of this behavior, the paper proposes RNFD, a new algorithm that explicitly tracks node failures at the routing layer. The algorithm is designed as a framework that complements rather than replaces regular route maintenance algorithms, which facilitates its integration with the existing protocols. Third, the paper evaluates a prototype implementation of RNFD through simulations and testbed experiments. In particular, it demonstrates that, with little information overhead, RNFD can speed up node failure detection by an order of magnitude and considerably reduce the traffic during the process.","PeriodicalId":137855,"journal":{"name":"2016 15th ACM/IEEE International Conference on Information Processing in Sensor Networks (IPSN)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122291934","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With proper user identification, wearable devices can adopt personalized settings for different users, automatically label the corresponding data to protect user privacy, and help prevent illegal user spoofing attacks. Current user identification solutions proposed for wearable devices either rely on dedicated devices with high cost or require user intervention which is not convenient. In this work, we leverage the bio-vibrometry to enable a novel user identification solution for wearable devices in small-scale scenarios, e.g., household scenario. Unlike existing user identification solutions, our system only uses the low-cost sensors that are already available for most wearable devices. The key idea is that, when human body is exposed to a vibration excitation, the vibration response reflects the physical characteristics of user, i.e., the mass, stiffness and damping. Meanwhile, due to users' biological diversity, such physical characteristics of different users are quite distinctive. Therefore, we can leverage the discrepancy in users' vibration responses as an identifier. Based on this idea, we propose VibID, which only uses a low-cost vibration motor and accelerometer to generate an unobtrusive vibration to users' arms and capture the corresponding responses. By examining the vibration patterns at different frequencies, VibID builds an ensemble machine learning model to recognize who is using the device. Extensive experiments are conducted on human subjects to demonstrate that our system is reliable in small- scale scenarios and robust to various confounding factors, e.g., arm position, muscle state, user mobility and wearing location. We also show that, in an uncontrolled scenario of 8 users, our system can still ensure a identification accuracy above 91%.","PeriodicalId":137855,"journal":{"name":"2016 15th ACM/IEEE International Conference on Information Processing in Sensor Networks (IPSN)","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123059340","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we present an inexpensive (less than 30 USD) embedded gateway with mobile network connectivity that can talk directly to cloud storage service providers, such as Google Apps Engine (hereafter called GAE). This embedded gateway can be used to collect data from networked wireless sensors in the field. The proposed design is characterized by: (1) using mobile networks to upload collected data without the need to pre-deploy conventional network equipment in the field; and (2) using cloud platform services for the logging of data. We designed and implemented this framework and installed it in a test site to evaluate its performance. This gateway framework can facilitate the design of a sensor system for collecting on-site signals, leveraging the benefits of cost-effective, always-ready, and reliable data storage service.","PeriodicalId":137855,"journal":{"name":"2016 15th ACM/IEEE International Conference on Information Processing in Sensor Networks (IPSN)","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132245757","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For many of these applications, to ensure the security of communication between legitimate devices is a crucial problem. In this paper, we design Walkie-Talkie, a shared secret key generation scheme that allows two legitimate devices to establish a common cryptographic key by exploiting users' walking characteristics (gait). The intuition is that the sensors on different locations of the same body experience similar accelerometer signal when the user is walking. However, the accelerometer also captures motion signal produced by other body parts (e.g., swinging arms). We address this issue by employing Blind Source Separation (BSS) technique to extract the informative signal produced by the unique gait pattern. Our experimental results show that the keys generated by two independent devices on the same body are able to achieve up to 100% bit agreement rate. To demonstrate the feasibility, we implement the proposed key generation scheme on modern smartphones. The evaluation results show that the proposed scheme can run in real-time on modern mobile devices and incurs low system overhead.","PeriodicalId":137855,"journal":{"name":"2016 15th ACM/IEEE International Conference on Information Processing in Sensor Networks (IPSN)","volume":" 17","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113947277","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
