Such networks present unique challenges to data dissemination, data storage and in-network query processing (information discovery). Recent algorithms proposed for such WSNs are aimed at achieving better energy efficiency and minimizing latency. This creates a partitioned network area due to the overuse of certain nodes in areas which are on the shortest or closest or path to the base station or data aggregation points which results in hotspots nodes. In this paper, we propose a time-based multi-dimensional, multi-resolution storage approach for range queries that balances the energy consumption by balancing the traffic load as uniformly as possible. Thus ensuring a maximum network lifetime. We present simulation results to show that the proposed approach to information discovery offers significant improvements on information discovery latency compared with current approaches. In addition, the results prove that the Quality of Service (QoS) improvements reduces hotspots thus resulting in significant network-wide energy saving and an increased network lifetime.","PeriodicalId":202159,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Conference on Wireless Sensors (ICWiSE)","volume":"110 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127683397","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}

Under heavy interference, with severe packet drops on the channel under interference, PRP demonstrates increased reliability in terms of percentage of packets received. Interference was studied in a controlled environment and quantified in terms of an FTP file transfer under several Wi-Fi data rates.

The smart farm has used agriculture automation system instead of traditional agriculture. Traditional agricultural methods employed by the local people are highly sustainable, although the all inclusive cost is not cheap. Our research goal is to provide long term sustainable solution for automation of agriculture. Agriculture automation has several methods to getting data from vegetable crop like sensor for environmental measurement. Therefore, we developed a portable measurement technology including soil moisture sensor, air humidity sensor and air temperature sensor. Moreover, irrigation system using wireless sensor network has installed these sensors, with the purpose for collecting the environment data and controlling the irrigation system via smart phone. The purpose of the experiment is to find better ways of controlling an irrigation system with automatic system and manual control by smart phone. In order to control an irrigation system, we have developed the communication methodology of the wireless sensor network for collected environment data and sending control command to turn on/off irrigation system. It is successful for controlling the irrigation system and controlling the water near the vegetable roots. In this paper, we have attempted to demonstrate the automation of the irrigation system that is useful for farm business which make it comfortable than using traditional agriculture by using smart phone for monitoring and controlling the system. Accordingly, in the long-term has reduced cost as well. The experimental result shows that the accuracy of sending and receiving command control for irrigation system is 96 percent and accuracy of environment collection is 98 percent.","PeriodicalId":202159,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Conference on Wireless Sensors (ICWiSE)","volume":"77 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133114962","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}

Such an assumption however, does not hold true in all situations. In this paper, three heuristic algorithms for choosing active sensors and orienting them with the goal of balancing coverage and identifiability are presented. The first algorithm is parameterizable, allowing users to specify the desired level of trade-off between coverage and identifiability. The other two algorithms are not parameterizable, and are more suited for situations where coverage is preferred over identifiability. The performance of the algorithms are verified via simulations, and shown through simulations to confer increased target identifiability compared to algorithms originally designed to simply maximize the number of targets covered.","PeriodicalId":202159,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Conference on Wireless Sensors (ICWiSE)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134645847","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}

However, the performance of WSN-BMS is usually deteriorated by a unidirectional link and dynamic nature of wireless links in the building. Potential-based Entropy Adaptive Routing (PEAR) protocol uses DTN approach to attain reliability and scalability over intermittently-connected wireless network, but this approach resulted unacceptable high delivery latency. In this paper, we point out the problems leading to large delivery latency and propose FAST (Farther-Aim-Shorter-Try) forwarding scheme for PEAR in WSN-BMS. FAST modifies the current next-hop selection scheme to avoid the unidirectional links and combines DTN approach with traditional routing schemes, i.e. link quality metric and retransmission, to decrease delivery latency. We implemented FAST to PEAR and evaluated its performance on WiFi-based UTMesh testbed with 16 node-floor scenario and 33 node-multistory scenario. The experiment results show that FAST outperformed PEAR regarding delivery latency. FAST decreased 65.28% and 83.5% of median delivery latency compared to PEAR in floor and multistory scenario respectively.","PeriodicalId":202159,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Conference on Wireless Sensors (ICWiSE)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121790090","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 MPU6050 sensor is selected to measure the vibration occurred along the pipes. In this study, the water pipeline used is high pressure pipe, an inch of the Acrylonitrille Butadience Styrene (ABS) pipe size with 10 meters length. The Arduino controller board then processes the vibration data from the accelerometer sensor and transmits (Tx) the data over wireless ZigBee networks at one second ellipse time. The water pipeline system is examined based on two states, which are (i) no pipe leakage, and (ii) a 1mm size of pipe leakage. In our experiments, the pressure is varied for three different levels, 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0 kgf/cm2. Results show that at water pressure of a 0.6 kgf/cm2 a significant difference in vibration signal is demonstrated between no pipe leakage and 1mm size of pipe leakage. However, this is not the case for the other two water pressure of 0.8 and 1.0 kgf/cm2 in which the vibration signals achieved are similar for both pipe leakage and normal pipe. This is due to the fact that high water pressure resulted to low water flow and thus the vibration of the pipe is not that considerable when the pipe leaks.","PeriodicalId":202159,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Conference on Wireless Sensors (ICWiSE)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128844256","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}
