This limitation restricts the use of cryptographic algorithms developed for computer networks in a wireless sensor node. Most of the modern cryptographic algorithms use the multiplicative inverse of a Galois field and therefore it is important to develop storage- and energy-efficient approaches for sensors to calculate multiplicative inverses. This paper presents two techniques to compute multiplicative inverses of a Galois field of order prime p for a wireless sensor network. The performance of the proposed algorithm is compared with that of the extended Euclid algorithm. The results show that the proposed approaches are storage-and energy-efficient, and are computationally better than the extended Euclid algorithm.","PeriodicalId":143803,"journal":{"name":"2008 Australasian Telecommunication Networks and Applications Conference","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130996511","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}

A wireless sensor network (WSN) consists of two sets of nodes: sensors and actors, where the set of sensors performs all the sensing (data collection) from their surrounding environment. Since sensors operate by batteries, then they are limited with their processing and communication capabilities due to the short life-span of the batteries. On the other hand, the set of actors has more capabilities with extended life-span batteries, and their roles are to collect and process the raw data from the sensors to determine the next action for WSN. The actor placement problem is to select a minimal set of actors and their optimal locations in WSN keeping in mind the communication requirements between sensors and actors. We have encoded the actor placement problem into the evolutionary approach, where the objective function is to find the minimal total number of actors covering as many sensors as possible subject to budgetary and performance constraints. The experimental results demonstrate the feasibility of our evolutionary approach in covering 77% of 61 sensors by three actors within an area of 375 meters by 375 meters.","PeriodicalId":143803,"journal":{"name":"2008 Australasian Telecommunication Networks and Applications Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128765786","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}

But due to interference the capacity is still not fully utilized. This is caused by the limited number of available radio channels. The interference problem can be reduced using directional beams instead of omni-directional beams. This paper presents a novel cross-layer approach to use multiple radio channels with directional antennas. We are using three different radio channels. Each node has three fixed directional beams having fixed beamwidth and with different radio frequency. Two nodes can communicate when both the sending and receiving beams are pointing towards each other using the same frequency channel. In this study the directions of beams cannot be changed dynamically. A modified version of ad hoc on-demand distance vector (AODV) routing protocol has been used. Simulation results show that our approach outperforms other methods using three different radio channels with omni-directional antennas.","PeriodicalId":143803,"journal":{"name":"2008 Australasian Telecommunication Networks and Applications Conference","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126741936","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}

An extended Markov model has been developed and validated through computer simulation, which successfully predicts the respective performance of unicast and broadcast in a variety of mixed traffic scenarios. Under heavy network traffic conditions, a significant divergence is seen to develop between the performance of the two traffic classes - in particular, when network becomes saturated, unicast traffic is effectively given higher precedence over broadcast. As a result, the network becomes dominated by unicast frames, leading to poor rates of broadcast frame delivery.","PeriodicalId":143803,"journal":{"name":"2008 Australasian Telecommunication Networks and Applications Conference","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126202911","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 method, instead of a global quantile for all frequency bands, we divide the entire frequency band into three regions and use different quantile in each region. Our simulation results show that the new method has better performance than quantile based noise estimation.","PeriodicalId":143803,"journal":{"name":"2008 Australasian Telecommunication Networks and Applications Conference","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124586761","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}

The number of nodes is normally large in such a sensor network and the number may very due to different factors such as power failure or environmental disasters. An identification procedure is needed in this network to observe which nodes are currently operational and a large amount of time can be wasted in every probe of the procedure due to the long propagation delay. Optimizing the number of probes improves the identification time and power consumption by 75% and 60% respectively in both the slotted and un-slotted cases [1]. While optimizing the number of probes for the long delay, the frame size (the time within which the nodes send their packets) increases due to the lower offered load. In this work we show that even with the limitation of the maximum frame size our procedure works well. One of the limitations of LDNs is the variation of the propagating wave speed. We observe that if the standard deviation of the propagation speed is approximately less than 1/e of the packet size then the identification procedure for the slotted case is better than that for the un-slotted case. In order to alleviate the effect of variation in propagation speed we use a guard time in the slotted case.","PeriodicalId":143803,"journal":{"name":"2008 Australasian Telecommunication Networks and Applications Conference","volume":"18 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120858911","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}
