We study the concept of energy fairness in routing in sensor networks so as to increase the network lifetime. Our model aims to construct a nearly stateless routing protocol, which can be used to route data based on the residual energy of the nodes. This algorithm divides the network into different energy bands and then constructs routing paths. This type of architecture is novel and more suitable to wireless sensor networks that generate a lot of traffic as it achieves nearly uniform load distribution across all the nodes. This model has the advantage of eliminating the bottlenecks in the network, because the nodes will be expending their energies at a constant measured rate. This mechanism has another advantage wherein the paths need not be computed every time the data is sent. Simulations show that our model achieves fairness and load balancing across the network and increases the lifetime considerably.","PeriodicalId":147043,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2004 Intelligent Sensors, Sensor Networks and Information Processing Conference, 2004.","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133013442","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}

Initial results show that with the current hardware available for sensor networks, the real time concept is feasible. For real-time scheduling, we have designed EDFI. EDFI is a lightweight real-time scheduling protocol that combines EDF (earliest deadline first) with deadline inheritance over shared resources.

This self configuring property is indispensable as ad hoc devices are usually exposed to natural or man-made disasters due to the hostile deployment of such networks. The most common dynamics posing a reconfiguration requirement are addition, failure and replacement of critical component devices. In addition to self configuration, the network must be able to monitor these dynamics in an autonomous way in order to take proactive measures for smooth re-configuration of the network, with minimal degradation in quality of service (QoS) provision. The paper presents a comprehensive model for monitoring and reconfiguring sensor networks and provides measures to mitigate network impairments. The results confirm that the proposed self configuring model adopts optimized design parameters and maintains QoS even for highly ad hoc networks.","PeriodicalId":147043,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2004 Intelligent Sensors, Sensor Networks and Information Processing Conference, 2004.","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116695491","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}

Three forms of nonlinear dependency of the sensor characteristics on temperature were considered. Through extensive simulated experiments, we have shown that the multilayer perceptron (MLP)-based CPS model can provide pressure readout with a maximum full-scale (FS) error of only /spl plusmn/1.0% over this temperature range. A novel scheme for estimation of the ambient temperature from the sensor characteristics, by using a second MLP, is proposed.

Acoustic sensors are appealing because they are passive, affordable, robust. and compact. Also, the propagation of sound energy is not limited by obstacles, which block or obscure the clear line of sight that is required for the effective operation of electromagnetic systems. Methods, with examples, for extracting tactical information from acoustic signals emitted by moving sources (air and ground vehicles) are provided for both single sensor and multiple sensor configurations. The methods are based on processing either the narrowband or broadband spectral components of the source's acoustic signature. For example, the tactical information extracted by narrowband processing of single sensor data for a moving source is the source speed, slant range and time at the closest point of approach, as well as the source (or rest) frequency of the narrowband signal. For an array of sensors, the tactical information consists of estimates of a complete set of target motion parameters, which indicate the speed and trajectory of the source. Weapon firings generate acoustic impulses and supersonic projectiles generate acoustic shocks, which can be localized and classified using spatially distributed acoustic sensors. The methods developed for land-based acoustic surveillance using microphone data are also applied to hydrophone data for passive acoustic surveillance of the underwater environment.","PeriodicalId":147043,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2004 Intelligent Sensors, Sensor Networks and Information Processing Conference, 2004.","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115648276","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}
