Application scenarios include monitoring temperature, water contamination, air quality etc. As citizens are increasingly concerned about the surrounding environment, it is important to provide sufficient and accurate information to the public. In this study, we focus on the problem of optimal citizen-centric sensor placement, i.e, given a set of locations within the city, we aim at placing sensors or stations at locations that will benefit as many citizens as possible under budget constraints. We prove that the problem is NP-hard, yet the objective function has the nice non-decreasing and submodular property. Then the efficient greedy algorithm and its variants can be adopted with a guaranteed approximation ratio of (1−1/e) for the unit cost case and 1/2 (1−1/e) for the general cost case. Finally we demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach by comparing with two baseline algorithms through a case study.","PeriodicalId":346249,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Conference on Sensing, Communication and Networking (SECON Workshops)","volume":"463 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132310892","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 instance, more and more UAVs disrupt flights and peep into privacy. This problem is likely to expand given the rapid proliferation of UAVs for commerce, monitoring, recreation, and other applications. In this paper, we propose a UAV presence detection system which identifies signal signatures by using the UAV's RF communication. We explore UAV's physical characteristics, including the mobility due to fast moving, spatiality due to UAV's 3D nature, and vibration due to its wing rotation. We consider whether the received UAV signals are uniquely differentiated from other wireless devices. We thoroughly analyze the angle of arrival (AoA) in 3D space, and flexibly apply super-resolution AoA estimation method to calculate the elevation in 3D place. We conduct spectrum on fine- grained channel state information data, and successfully detect the frequency of UAV vibration due to the rotation of UAV's propellers, and finally improve the accuracy through a clustering algorithm. Our system is prototyped and evaluated using commodity WiFi devices in real-world environment. Our system shows a good performance, which achieves 86.6% of accuracy, 87.3% of precision and 85.8% of recall.","PeriodicalId":346249,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Conference on Sensing, Communication and Networking (SECON Workshops)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122167924","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 the high-speed nanonetworks deployed for time critical applications, the limited IoT backhaul bandwidth of the existing infrastructure becomes the bottleneck that deteriorates resource utilization efficiency. On the one hand, the bandwidth demand exceeding the supply results in unnecessary energy consumption on nano-devices due to the overdue data discarded. On the other hand, the excess supply of bandwidth reduces the bandwidth efficiency. To address this problem, the On-demand Efficient (OE) polling and On-demand Probabilistic (OP) polling were proposed. Nevertheless, the existing solutions only apply to the single-gateway scenario whereas deploying multiple gateways is required for achieving high data completeness and energy efficiency. Therefore, in this paper, we propose the Multi-gateway Probabilistic (MP) polling for the multi-gateway EMWNSNs. To achieve high bandwidth efficiency, in MP polling, one master gateway is selected for OP polling with the aggregated bandwidth that reduces the probabilistic uncertainty. Next, all gateways probabilistically receive packets using the bandwidth-based receiving windows. To the best of our knowledge, MP Polling is the first polling solution designed for the multi gateway EM-WNSNs under dynamic backhaul bandwidth.","PeriodicalId":346249,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Conference on Sensing, Communication and Networking (SECON Workshops)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114950134","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}

Freely flying drones create highly dynamic environments, where conventional routing algorithms which rely on stationary network contact graphs fail to perform efficiently. Also, link establishment through exploring optimal paths using hello messages (as is used in AODV algorithm) deems extremely inefficient and costly for rapidly changing network topologies. In this paper, we present a distance-based greedy routing algorithm for UAV networks solely based on UAVs' local observations of their surrounding subnetwork. Thereby, neither a central decision maker nor a time consuming route setup and maintenance mechanism is required. To evaluate the proposed method, we derive an analytical bound for the expected number of hops that a packet traverses. Also, we find the expected end-to-end distance traveled by each packet as well as the probability of successful delivery. The simulation results verify the accuracy of the developed analytical expressions and show considerable improvement compared to centralized shortest path routing algorithms.","PeriodicalId":346249,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Conference on Sensing, Communication and Networking (SECON Workshops)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122849915","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}
