Performance evaluation of wireless sensor network protocols for industrial applications

Recently, distributed wireless microsensor systems have provided more flexible leverage to emerging industrial applications. The tiny distributed wireless microsensor network systems, however, should be designed to overcome various constraints such as limited energy, bandwidth limit, and unexpected failure of communication under disturbances. In addition, their network topologies need to be managed with designated communication protocols. Thus, design of microsensor network protocols still needs to be application-specific. It should be also evaluated through designated tools at each level of networking characteristics. This research describes essential factors that affect the performance of sensor network systems in the design of wireless microsensor network protocols, and presents effective time-based network protocol and performance evaluation tool which are applicable for various protocols in industrial applications. The developed network evaluation tool, called TIE/MEMS, also includes functional comparison with recent protocols proposed for wireless microsensor networks, and provides design guidelines for multi-sensor network systems needed for emerging industrial applications.

Design and implementing wireless multimedia sensor network for movement detection using FPGA local co-processing

In recent years, many researches have been conducted on designing wireless multimedia sensor networks. But, implementing these networks faces several challenges. One of these challenges is the bulky nature of the multimedia data which needs powerful radios with high data rates for transmission and requires much more energy. So, in some applications it is more efficient to process the data locally and send the results to the base station which allows WMSNs to be implemented using simple and cheap network nodes. In this paper a wireless multimedia sensor network has been designed which processes the images locally using small FPGA processors in order to detect possible motions and the time and location of the detected movements will be sent to the base station. The network is implemented to perform two motion detection algorithms separately using Spartan 6 FPGAs and the local results of motion detection and global result of the network are presented.

     

Self-orienting wireless multimedia sensor networks for occlusion-free viewpoints

Wireless multimedia sensor networks (WMSN) are formations of a large number of compact form-factor computing devices that can capture multimedia content, such as video and audio, and communicate them over wireless channels. The efficiency of a WMSN heavily depends on the correct orientation (i.e., view) of its individual sensory units in the field. In this paper, we study the problem of self-orientation in WMSN, that is finding the most beneficial orientation for all multimedia sensors to maximize multimedia coverage. We propose a new algorithm to determine a node’s multimedia coverage and find the sensor orientation that minimizes the negative effect of occlusions and overlapping regions in the sensing field. Our approach enables multimedia sensor nodes to compute their directional coverage leading to an efficient and self-configurable sensor orientation calculation. By using simulations, we show that the occlusion-free viewpoint approach increases the multimedia coverage significantly. The self-orientation methodology is designed in the form of a distributed algorithm, making it a suitable candidate for deployment in practical systems.

DV-Hop localization algorithm based on bacterial foraging optimization for wireless multimedia sensor networks

DV-Hop localization algorithm is a classic range free localization algorithm in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Although easy to be employed in low cost and resource limited WSNs, DV-Hop localization algorithm suffers from low localization accuracy as the other range free localization approaches. To improve the localization accuracy, in this paper we introduce Bacterial Foraging Optimization (BFO), an efficient optimization method that has been widely applied in a variety of scientific and engineering applications. We conduct extensive simulations under different network setting, the simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm achieves significantly higher positioning accuracy than the basic DV-Hop algorithm.
