Data Collection and Capacity Analysis in Large-scale Wireless Sensor Networks
In this dissertation, we study data collection and its achievable network capacity in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Firstly, we investigate the data collection issue in dual-radio multi-channel WSNs under the protocol interference model. We propose a multi-path scheduling algorithm for snapshot data collection, which has a tighter capacity bound than the existing best result, and a novel continuous data collection algorithm with comprehensive capacity analysis. Secondly, considering most existing works for the capacity issue are based on the ideal deterministic network model, we study the data collection problem for practical probabilistic WSNs. We design a cell-based path scheduling algorithm and a zone-based pipeline scheduling algorithm for snapshot and continuous data collection in probabilistic WSNs, respectively. By analysis, we show that the proposed algorithms have competitive capacity performance compared with existing works. Thirdly, most of the existing works studying the data collection capacity issue are for centralized synchronous WSNs. However, wireless networks are more likely to be distributed asynchronous systems. Therefore, we investigate the achievable data collection capacity of realistic distributed asynchronous WSNs and propose a data collection algorithm with fairness consideration. Theoretical analysis of the proposed algorithm shows that its achievable network capacity is order-optimal as centralized and synchronized algorithms do and independent of network size. Finally, for completeness, we study the data aggregation issue for realistic probabilistic WSNs. We propose order-optimal scheduling algorithms for snapshot and continuous data aggregation under the physical interference model
One-bit Distributed Sensing and Coding for Field Estimation in Sensor Networks
This paper formulates and studies a general distributed field reconstruction
problem using a dense network of noisy one-bit randomized scalar quantizers in
the presence of additive observation noise of unknown distribution. A
constructive quantization, coding, and field reconstruction scheme is developed
and an upper-bound to the associated mean squared error (MSE) at any point and
any snapshot is derived in terms of the local spatio-temporal smoothness
properties of the underlying field. It is shown that when the noise, sensor
placement pattern, and the sensor schedule satisfy certain weak technical
requirements, it is possible to drive the MSE to zero with increasing sensor
density at points of field continuity while ensuring that the per-sensor
bitrate and sensing-related network overhead rate simultaneously go to zero.
The proposed scheme achieves the order-optimal MSE versus sensor density
scaling behavior for the class of spatially constant spatio-temporal fields.Comment: Fixed typos, otherwise same as V2. 27 pages (in one column review

Throughput optimization for data collection in wireless sensor networks
Wireless sensor networks are widely used in many application domains in recent years. Data collection is a fundamental function provided by wireless sensor networks. How to efficiently collect sensing data from all sensor nodes is critical to the performance of sensor networks. In this dissertation, we aim to study the theoretical limits of data collection in a TDMA-based sensor network in terms of possible and achievable maximum capacity. Various communication scenarios are considered in our analysis, such as with a single sink or multiple sinks, randomly-deployed or arbitrarily- deployed sensors, and different communication models. For both randomly-deployed and arbitrarily-deployed sensor networks, an efficient collection algorithm has been proposed under protocol interference model and physical interference model respec- tively. We can prove that its performance is within a constant factor of the optimal for both single sink and regularly-deployed multiple sinks cases. We also study the capacity bounds of data collection under a general graph model, where two nearby nodes may be unable to communicate due to barriers or path fading, and discuss per- formance implications. In addition, we further discuss the problem of data collection capacity under Gaussian channel model
Distributed and Asynchronous Data Collection in Cognitive Radio Networks with Fairness Consideration
As a promising communication paradigm, Cognitive Radio Networks (CRNs) have paved a road for Secondary Users (SUs) to opportunistically exploit unused licensed spectrum without causing unacceptable interference to Primary Users (PUs). In this paper, we study the distributed data collection problem for asynchronous CRNs, which has not been addressed before. We study the Proper Carrier-sensing Range (PCR) for SUs. By working with this PCR, an SU can successfully conduct data transmission without disturbing the activities of PUs and other SUs. Subsequently, based on the PCR, we propose an Asynchronous Distributed Data Collection (ADDC) algorithm with fairness consideration for CRNs. ADDC collects a snapshot of data to the base station in a distributed manner without the time synchronization requirement. The algorithm is scalable and more practical compared with centralized and synchronized algorithms. Through comprehensive theoretical analysis, we show that ADDC is order-optimal in terms of delay and capacity, as long as an SU has a positive probability to access the spectrum. Furthermore, we extend ADDC to deal with the continuous data collection issue, and analyze the delay and capacity performances of ADDC for continuous data collection, which are also proven to be order-optimal. Finally, extensive simulation results indicate that ADDC can effectively accomplish a data collection task and significantly reduce data collection delay. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER
Implementation of Load Balanced Data Gathering of Nodes in Wireless Sensor Network
Data Gathering is a basic task in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Data gathering trees capable of performing aggregation operations are also referred to as Data Aggregation Trees (DATs). Recent work focus on constructing DATs according to different user requirements under the Deterministic Network Model (DNM). However, due to the existence of many probabilistic empty links in WSNs, it is more practical to obtain a DAT under the realistic Probabilistic Network Model (PNM). Moreover, the load-balance factor is neglected when constructing DATs in current literatures. Therefore, it is focused on constructing a Load-Balanced Data Aggregation Tree (LBDAT) under the PNM.In this paper, we did simulation of the same as above stated WSN in NS2 network simulator.

Outlier Detection Techniques For Wireless Sensor Networks: A Survey
In the field of wireless sensor networks, measurements that
significantly deviate from the normal pattern of sensed data are
considered as outliers. The potential sources of outliers include
noise and errors, events, and malicious attacks on the network.
Traditional outlier detection techniques are not directly
applicable to wireless sensor networks due to the multivariate
nature of sensor data and specific requirements and limitations of
the wireless sensor networks. This survey provides a comprehensive
overview of existing outlier detection techniques specifically
developed for the wireless sensor networks. Additionally, it
presents a technique-based taxonomy and a decision tree to be used
as a guideline to select a technique suitable for the application
at hand based on characteristics such as data type, outlier type,
outlier degree
FSM: FBS Set Management, An energy efficient multi-drone 3D trajectory approach in cellular networks
Nowadays, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have been significantly improved,
and one of their most important applications is to provide temporary coverage
for cellular users. Terrestrial Base Station cannot service all users due to
disasters or events such as ground BS breakdowns, bad weather conditions,
natural disasters, transmission errors, etc. The UAV can be sent to the target
location and establishes the necessary communication links without requiring
any predetermined infrastructure and covers that area. Finding the optimal
location and the appropriate number (DBS) of drone-BS in this area is a
challenge. In this paper, the optimal location and optimal number of DBSs are
distributed in the current state of the users and the subsequent user states
determined by the prediction. Finally, the DBS transition is optimized from the
current state to the predicted future locations. The simulation results show
that the proposed method can provide acceptable coverage on the network
