The Deployment-Support Network (DSN) is a new, minimal invasive methodology for developing and testing wireless sensor networks (WSN) in a realistic environment. A device under test, e.g. a target sensor network is augmented with a redundant wireless backbone network and a second set of nodes to carry out the testing logic. Enabling a developer to test a live application scenario on the actual ...

i ABSTRACT This dissertation presents the study of a wireless remote monitoring and control system utilized for cultural heritage preservation purpose. The system uses wireless sensor networks to remotely monitor and control the indoor climate, i.e., temperature and relative humidity of the cultural buildings. The system mainly consists of three parts, i.e., the wireless sensor network part, th...

Today, information networks play an important role in supply chain management. Therefore, in this article, clustering-based routing protocols, which are one of the most important ways to reduce energy consumption in wireless sensor networks, are used to optimize the supply chain informational cloud network. Accordingly, first, a clustering protocol is presented using self-organizing map neu...

Wireless sensor networks are event-based systems based on the collaboration of several micro sensor nodes. Due to the limited supply of power at sensor nodes, power efficient configuration of wireless sensor network has become a major design goal to improve the lifetime of the network. The cluster-based wireless sensor network can enhance the whole network lifetime by aggregating the collected ...

In the current decade, wireless sensor networks are emerging as a peculiar multi-disciplinary research area. By this way, energy efficiency is one of the fundamental research themes in the design of Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols for wireless sensor networks. Thus, in order to optimize the energy consumption in these networks, a variety of MAC protocols are available in the literature. T...

The area of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) is one of the most emerging and fast growing fields in the scientific world. It consists a collection of sensing devices and these sensing devices are known as sensor nodes. Each sensor nodes are deployed into the network to monitor the physical or environmental condition such as temperature, sound, vibration at different location. The data is transfer...

Most ad hoc and sensor network research assumes idealised radio propagation models without considering fading and shadowing effects. Experimental results have shown that many well-designed protocols will fail simply because of fading and shadowing experienced in a realistic wireless environment. While fading and shadowing for radio propagation are well understood in the wireless communication c...

Due to deployment in hostile environment, wireless sensor network is vulnerable to various attacks. Exhausted sensor nodes in sensor network become a challenging issue because it disrupts the normal connectivity of the network. Affected nodes give rise to denial of service that resists to get the objective of sensor network in real life. A mathematical model based on Absorbing Markov Chain (AMC...

A wireless network is a type of network where various physical devices (e. g. computer, laptops, PDAs etc) are interconnected with each other using network infrastructure. Owing to wireless medium of data communication, the security risk is potentially high for unauthorized access and intrusion of various malicious programs. The security protocols of wireless network are governed by family of I...
