A Virtualization Architecture for Wireless Network Cards

Topology Virtualization for Wireless Sensor Network Testbeds

In recent years Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have enjoyed a growing amount of attention. One particularly promising prospect is to employ WSNs as an extension of the future internet into the real world; this motivates experimentally driven research to evaluate and benchmark new concepts on WSNs. With our poster we will show our approach to virtualizing Wireless Sensor Network testbeds. With ...

A Secure Routing Algorithm for Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks

Recently, underwater Wireless Sensor Networks (UWSNs) attracted the interest of many researchers and the past three decades have held the rapid progress of underwater acoustic communication. One of the major problems in UWSNs is how to transfer data from the mobile node to the base stations and choosing the optimized route for data transmission. Secure routing in UWSNs is necessary for packet d...

Routing Hole Handling Techniques for Wireless Sensor Networks: A Review

A Wireless Sensor Network consists of several tiny devices which have the capability to sense and compute the environmental phenomenon. These sensor nodes are deployed in remote areas without any physical protections. A Wireless Sensor Network can have various types of anomalies due to some random deployment of nodes, obstruction and physical destructions. These anomalies can diminish the sensi...

HYREP: A Hybrid Low-Power Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks

In this paper, a new hybrid routing protocol is presented for low power Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). The new system uses an integrated piezoelectric energy harvester to increase the network lifetime. Power dissipation is one of the most important factors affecting lifetime of a WSN. An innovative cluster head selection technique using Cuckoo optimization algorithm has been used in the desig...
