Distributed Local Linear Parameter Estimation using Gaussian SPAWN
We consider the problem of estimating local sensor parameters, where the
local parameters and sensor observations are related through linear stochastic
models. Sensors exchange messages and cooperate with each other to estimate
their own local parameters iteratively. We study the Gaussian Sum-Product
Algorithm over a Wireless Network (gSPAWN) procedure, which is based on belief
propagation, but uses fixed size broadcast messages at each sensor instead.
Compared with the popular diffusion strategies for performing network parameter
estimation, whose communication cost at each sensor increases with increasing
network density, the gSPAWN algorithm allows sensors to broadcast a message
whose size does not depend on the network size or density, making it more
suitable for applications in wireless sensor networks. We show that the gSPAWN
algorithm converges in mean and has mean-square stability under some technical
sufficient conditions, and we describe an application of the gSPAWN algorithm
to a network localization problem in non-line-of-sight environments. Numerical
results suggest that gSPAWN converges much faster in general than the diffusion
method, and has lower communication costs, with comparable root mean square
errors
Sink position analysis of energy efficiency in Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) using routing Stable Election Protocol (SEP)
Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is a wireless network that involves sensors in the network. The sensor node on the WSN will collect data information from the environment around the sensor. However, each sensor node has storage capacity, processing power, communication range, and battery life limitations. The use of energy consumption from these factors is the main problem because each sensor node uses its power consumption from the battery. Stable Election Protocol (SEP) is a type of routing protocol on WSN that uses the clustering method. SEP has a function to extend the time interval before the first node dies. This research was carried out on the SEP protocol with alive node parameters, total initial energy, and stability. This study indicates that on a network that uses 100 nodes with sink positions (0, 100), two nodes are still alive and several nodes that are still alive in several sink positions that use 200 nodes. For networks where there is still a lot of energy remaining in the sink position (0, 100) with the network using 100 nodes and for networks using 200 nodes, the remaining energy is mainly in the sink position (100, 100). The highest stability period is in the sink position (50, 50) for networks using 100 nodes, and for networks using 200 nodes, the highest stability period is in the sink position (100, 50)
Link Expiration Time and Minimum Distance Spanning Trees based Distributed Data Gathering Algorithms for Wireless Mobile Sensor Networks
The high-level contributions of this paper are the design and development of two distributed spanning tree-based data gathering algorithms for wireless mobile sensor networks and their exhaustive simulation study to investigate a complex stability vs. node-network lifetime tradeoff that has been hitherto not explored in the literature. The topology of the mobile sensor networks changes dynamically with time due to random movement of the sensor nodes. Our first data gathering algorithm is stability-oriented and it is based on the idea of finding a maximum spanning tree on a network graph whose edge weights are predicted link expiration times (LET). Referred to as the LET-DG tree, the data gathering tree has been observed to be more stable in the presence of node mobility. However, stability-based data gathering coupled with more leaf nodes has been observed to result in unfair use of certain nodes (the intermediate nodes spend more energy compared to leaf nodes), triggering pre-mature node failures eventually leading to network failure (disconnection of the network of live nodes). As an alternative, we propose an algorithm to determine a minimum-distance spanning tree (MST) based data gathering tree that is more energy-efficient and prolongs the node and network lifetimes, at the cost frequent tree reconfigurations
Efficient organization of nodes in wireless sensor networks (clustering location-based LEACH)
The rapid development of connected devices and wireless communication has enabled several researchers to study wireless sensor networks and propose methods and algorithms to improve their performance. Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are composed of several sensor nodes deployed to collect and transfer data to base station (BS). Sensor node is considered as the main element in this field, characterized by minimal capacities of storage, energy, and computing. In consequence of the important impact of the energy on network lifetime, several researches are interested to propose different mechanisms to minimize energy consumption. In this work, we propose a new enhancement of low-energy adaptive clustering hierarchy (LEACH) protocol, named clustering location-based LEACH (CLOC-LEACH), which represents a continuity of our previous published work location-based LEACH (LOC-LEACH). The proposed protocol organizes sensor nodes into four regions, using clustering mechanism. In addition, an efficient concept is adopted to choose cluster head. CLOC-LEACH considers the energy as the principal metric to choose cluster heads and uses a gateway node to ensure the inter-cluster communication. The simulation with MATLAB shows that our contribution offers better performance than LEACH and LOC-LEACH, in terms of stability, energy consumption and network lifetime
Design and Test of a High-Performance Wireless Sensor Network for Irradiance Monitoring
Cloud-induced photovoltaic variability can affect grid stability and power quality, especially
in electricity systems with high penetration levels. The availability of irradiance field forecasts in the
scale of seconds and meters is fundamental for an adequate control of photovoltaic systems in order
to minimize their impact on distribution networks. Irradiance sensor networks have proved to be
efficient tools for supporting these forecasts, but the costs of monitoring systems with the required
specifications are economically justified only for large plants and research purposes. This study deals
with the design and test of a wireless irradiance sensor network as an adaptable operational solution
for photovoltaic systems capable of meeting the measurement specifications necessary for capturing
the clouds passage. The network was based on WiFi, comprised 16 pyranometers, and proved to be
stable at sampling periods up to 25 ms, providing detailed spatial representations of the irradiance
field and its evolution. As a result, the developed network was capable of achieving comparable
specifications to research wired irradiance monitoring network with the advantages in costs and
flexibility of the wireless technology, thus constituting a valuable tool for supporting nowcasting
systems for photovoltaic management and control
Optimized Cluster-Based Dynamic Energy-Aware Routing Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks in Agriculture Precision
[EN] Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are becoming one of the demanding platforms, where sensor nodes are sensing and monitoring the physical or environmental conditions and transmit the data to the base station via multihop routing. Agriculture sector also adopted these networks to promote innovations for environmental friendly farming methods, lower the management cost, and achieve scientific cultivation. Due to limited capabilities, the sensor nodes have suffered with energy issues and complex routing processes and lead to data transmission failure and delay in the sensor-based agriculture fields. Due to these limitations, the sensor nodes near the base station are always relaying on it and cause extra burden on base station or going into useless state. To address these issues, this study proposes a Gateway Clustering Energy-Efficient Centroid- (GCEEC-) based routing protocol where cluster head is selected from the centroid position and gateway nodes are selected from each cluster. Gateway node reduces the data load from cluster head nodes and forwards the data towards the base station. Simulation has performed to evaluate the proposed protocol with state-of-the-art protocols. The experimental results indicated the better performance of proposed protocol and provide more feasible WSN-based monitoring for temperature, humidity, and illumination in agriculture sector.This work has also been partially supported by the European Union through the ERANETMED (Euromediterranean Cooperation through ERANET joint activities and beyond) project ERANETMED3-227 SMARTWATIR.Qureshi, KN.; Bashir, MU.; Lloret, J.; León Fernández, A.

Distance Aware Relaying Energy-efficient: DARE to Monitor Patients in Multi-hop Body Area Sensor Networks
In recent years, interests in the applications of Wireless Body Area Sensor
Network (WBASN) is noticeably developed. WBASN is playing a significant role to
get the real time and precise data with reduced level of energy consumption. It
comprises of tiny, lightweight and energy restricted sensors, placed in/on the
human body, to monitor any ambiguity in body organs and measure various
biomedical parameters. In this study, a protocol named Distance Aware Relaying
Energy-efficient (DARE) to monitor patients in multi-hop Body Area Sensor
Networks (BASNs) is proposed. The protocol operates by investigating the ward
of a hospital comprising of eight patients, under different topologies by
positioning the sink at different locations or making it static or mobile.
Seven sensors are attached to each patient, measuring different parameters of
Electrocardiogram (ECG), pulse rate, heart rate, temperature level, glucose
level, toxins level and motion. To reduce the energy consumption, these sensors
communicate with the sink via an on-body relay, affixed on the chest of each
patient. The body relay possesses higher energy resources as compared to the
body sensors as, they perform aggregation and relaying of data to the sink
node. A comparison is also conducted conducted with another protocol of BAN
named, Mobility-supporting Adaptive Threshold-based Thermal-aware
Energy-efficient Multi-hop ProTocol (M-ATTEMPT). The simulation results show
that, the proposed protocol achieves increased network lifetime and efficiently
reduces the energy consumption, in relative to M-ATTEMPT protocol.Comment: IEEE 8th International Conference on Broadband and Wireless

SIMPLE: Stable Increased-throughput Multi-hop Protocol for Link Efficiency in Wireless Body Area Networks
In this work, we propose a reliable, power efficient and high throughput
routing protocol for Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs). We use multi-hop
topology to achieve minimum energy consumption and longer network lifetime. We
propose a cost function to select parent node or forwarder. Proposed cost
function selects a parent node which has high residual energy and minimum
distance to sink. Residual energy parameter balances the energy consumption
among the sensor nodes while distance parameter ensures successful packet
delivery to sink. Simulation results show that our proposed protocol maximize
the network stability period and nodes stay alive for longer period. Longer
stability period contributes high packet delivery to sink which is major
interest for continuous patient monitoring.Comment: IEEE 8th International Conference on Broadband and Wireless

Feedback Control Goes Wireless: Guaranteed Stability over Low-power Multi-hop Networks
Closing feedback loops fast and over long distances is key to emerging
applications; for example, robot motion control and swarm coordination require
update intervals of tens of milliseconds. Low-power wireless technology is
preferred for its low cost, small form factor, and flexibility, especially if
the devices support multi-hop communication. So far, however, feedback control
over wireless multi-hop networks has only been shown for update intervals on
the order of seconds. This paper presents a wireless embedded system that tames
imperfections impairing control performance (e.g., jitter and message loss),
and a control design that exploits the essential properties of this system to
provably guarantee closed-loop stability for physical processes with linear
time-invariant dynamics. Using experiments on a cyber-physical testbed with 20
wireless nodes and multiple cart-pole systems, we are the first to demonstrate
and evaluate feedback control and coordination over wireless multi-hop networks
for update intervals of 20 to 50 milliseconds.Comment: Accepted final version to appear in: 10th ACM/IEEE International
