Cognitive Antennas Architecture for Distributed Sensor Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the paper, the possibility of joining Wireless Sensor Node and Cognitive Radio paradigms to obtain a new kind of Cognitive devices calledWireless Cognitive Sensor Nodes (WCSNs) will be considered. The paper will be focused on the design process of a sub-component of the WCSN: the Cognitive Antenna System. The architecture of WCSN together with the design process and antenna characteristics for Cognitive Antennas will be shown. The design characteristics considered for the PRIN-SMART, a project financed by the Italian Ministry of the University and Research (MIUR), operative framework will be pointed out.

Design and evaluation of two distributed methods for sensors placement in Wireless Sensor Networks
Adequate coverage is one of the main problems for distributed wireless sensor networks and The effectiveness of that highly depends on the sensor deployment scheme. Given a finite number of sensors, optimizing the sensor deployment will provide sufficient sensor coverage and save power of sensors for movement to target location to adequate coverage. In this paper, we apply fuzzy logic system to...
متن کاملOutlier Detection in Wireless Sensor Networks Using Distributed Principal Component Analysis
Detecting anomalies is an important challenge for intrusion detection and fault diagnosis in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). To address the problem of outlier detection in wireless sensor networks, in this paper we present a PCA-based centralized approach and a DPCA-based distributed energy-efficient approach for detecting outliers in sensed data in a WSN. The outliers in sensed data can be ca...
متن کاملENERGY AWARE DISTRIBUTED PARTITIONING DETECTION AND CONNECTIVITY RESTORATION ALGORITHM IN WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS
Mobile sensor networks rely heavily on inter-sensor connectivity for collection of data. Nodes in these networks monitor different regions of an area of interest and collectively present a global overview of some monitored activities or phenomena. A failure of a sensor leads to loss of connectivity and may cause partitioning of the network into disjoint segments. A number of approaches have be...

متن کاملA Directional Cognitive-Radio-Aware MAC Protocol for Cognitive Radio Sensor Networks
Recently, cognitive radio (CR) technology is broadly applied even to sensor networks. Cognitive radio sensor networks (CRSNs) have been studied and, apparently, sensor nodes equipped with directional antennas achieve higher energy efficiency. This paper proposes a medium access control (MAC) protocol named directional CR-aware MAC (DC-MAC) for CRSNs. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this ...
