Embedded sensors and actuators are revolutionizing the way we perceive and interact with the physical world. Current research on such Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs) has focused mostly on distributed sensing and data gathering. The next step is to move from ...
In many wired and wireless networks, nodes process input traffic to satisfy a network constraint (e.g., a capacity constraint) and to increase the utility of data in the output flows given these constraints. In this paper we focus on the special case in wh ...
Wireless sensor networks have emerged as versatile tools to monitor the evolution of physical fields over large areas by means of self-powered and low-cost sensing devices. Although their development was originally motivated by military applications, they ...
Due to daylight variability, a design cannot be thoroughly assessed using single-moment simulations, which is why we need dynamic performance metrics like Daylight Autonomy and Useful Daylight Illuminance. Going one step further, the annual variation in pe ...
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) comprise a fast developing research area with a vast spectrum of applications. A WSN design is influenced by many factors such as transmission errors, network topology and power consumption. Consequently, developing a WSN app ...
Wireless communication today supports heterogeneous wireless devices with a number of different wireless network interfaces (WNICs). A large fraction of communication is infrastructure based, so the wireless access points and hotspot servers have become mo ...
We share our experience in planning, designing and deploying a wireless sensor network of one square kilometre area. Environmental data such as soil moisture, temperature, barometric pressure, and relative humidity are collected in this area situated in th ...
SensorScope is a turnkey solution for environmental monitoring systems, based on a wireless sensor network and resulting from a collaboration between environmental and network researchers. Given the interest in climate change, environmental monitoring is a ...
We derive performance expressions for the throughput and blocking probability for a class of wireless networks with a clustering protocol. The nodes are assumed stationary and establish connections with the master node according to a priority scheme that r ...
Multi-hop hybrid networks can help providing both high bandwidth and broad coverage for wireless data networks. We focus on CSMA/CA-based networks and take IEEE 802.11 as a concrete example. We show that the three fundamental operations of synchronization, ...
