Here, a UE switches off its RF circuitry when there are no packets to be transmitted or received. The existing DRX algorithms use static operational parameters that are determined by the evolved nodeB (eNB) at the start of a UE's session. During the switch-off period, packets destined to the UE are buffered in the eNB leading to higher packet latency. This paper presents two adaptive algorithms to dynamically adjust the DRX parameters, in order to reduce both energy consumption and the extra delay incurred. The algorithms use application Quality-of-Service (QoS) and Channel Quality Information (CQI) to adjust the DRX parameters. Performance studies based on ns3 simulator show that the algorithms are able to reduce packet delay compared to static DRX by up to 60%, 60% and 75% and reduce energy consumption by up to 75%, 43% and 90% for video streaming, VoIP and bursty data applications respectively.","PeriodicalId":311349,"journal":{"name":"2014 IFIP Wireless Days (WD)","volume":"138 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115990417","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}

One of these regions, called Chicken Creek, is used by ecologists to observe the development of an initial ecosystem without human interference - a scenario that seems perfect for a wireless sensor network. However, the sensor network applications are still mostly designed from scratch for every new scenario. The reason for this are strongly differing user requirements. This time-consuming problem can be overcome by providing a reusable module pool from which hard- and software components can be chosen. Based upon this module pool, a semi-automatic generation of sensor network applications becomes possible. In this paper we focus on the differences between the aforesaid theory and the practice during the initial deployment.","PeriodicalId":311349,"journal":{"name":"2014 IFIP Wireless Days (WD)","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115150317","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 work is devoted to computing the optimal deployment of sinks for a given maximum number of hops between nodes and sinks. We also propose an optimal distributed packet scheduling in order to estimate the minimum energy consumption. We consider the energy consumed due to reporting, forwarding and overhearing. In contrast to reporting and forwarding, the energy used in overhearing is difficult to estimate because it is dependent on the packet scheduling. In this case, we determine the lower-bound of overhearing, based on an optimal distributed packet scheduling formulation. We also propose another estimation of the lower-bound in order to simulate non interfering parallel transmissions which is more tractable in large networks. We note that overhearing largely predominates in energy consumption. A large part of the optimizations and computations carried out in this paper are obtained using ILP formalization.","PeriodicalId":311349,"journal":{"name":"2014 IFIP Wireless Days (WD)","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126139569","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}

Although, the packet delivery rate may increase with multiple packet flows, however, the desired signals of one packet may get interfered with the signals of the other packets in the network, thereby causing some of the packets to die off. This phenomenon is analyzed by modeling the multi-hop transmission as a conditional Markov process, followed by the derivation of its transition matrix. The resulting distribution is used to calculate the outage probability of a node in a cooperative environment in the presence of desired as well as interfering signals. The model is then used to obtain the network coverage, until which a packet can travel for a given packet delivery ratio constraint. Numerical simulations are performed to validate the analytical models.","PeriodicalId":311349,"journal":{"name":"2014 IFIP Wireless Days (WD)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115267672","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 efficiency of WSNs, as well as their ability to interact with different environments, varies. Many challenges and problems to be solved remain. Overcoming these challenges requires a protocol that will design and provide a highly efficient system, thus helping the WSN to transmit data in a suitable time. In WSNs with Mobile Elements (MEs), the task is first to find an effective way to minimize the length of the tour that the ME follows for data gathering. However, the minimized tour length should still offer access to all nodes in the networks for data collection form the sensor nodes. In this paper, we propose a protocol that results in a shorter ME tour length than previously proposed protocols, using closest rendezvous points (CRPs) distributed throughout the network. Furthermore, this proposed protocol offers access to all nodes inside the network for the exchange of data with the MEs, as facilitated by the suggested CRP algorithm. One or more nodes can be represented by a single CRP that provides connectivity to all of the nodes within its wireless range. In cases where a greater number of MEs are used, less time is required to traverse the network for data gathering. This research demonstrates that the tour time can be reduced significantly by using more than one ME.","PeriodicalId":311349,"journal":{"name":"2014 IFIP Wireless Days (WD)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130358135","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 quality of a radio link is a useful information for higher layer protocols as it has an impact on the network performance. The harsh or hostile outdoor conditions have a strong impact on signal propagation and make communication difficult or unreliable. Hence, deploying a wireless sensor network in such an environment requires a full knowledge of radio channel characteristics provided by the hardware designed to tackle the deployment. This paper describes a novel experimental testbed platform and a method to estimate the radio link quality and to determine WSN deployment parameters by using nodes shaped to the monitored site. The objective is to design a platform, independent from the environment, that can be used to estimate the radio link quality independently from the deployment context.

The multichannel operation is modeled by a multiserver polling system, where the order in which stations are polled can be accomplished either under regular cycles or at random. The number of messages transmitted per visit at each polled station is defined by using a gated + L-limited rule. The analytic model also accounts for multiple priority classes, that can be assigned to determine the order in which messages (within each visited station) are selected for transmission. Multi-channel operation is modeled by using an heuristic approximation for an M/G/K system, and the scenario also accounts for a classic Head-Of-Line (HOL) policy to support priority-based services. In addition, a terminal's random-choice component, implying a random polling policy, is added to approximate an Ad Hoc network.
