AMCTD: Adaptive Mobility of Courier nodes in Threshold-optimized DBR Protocol for Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks
In dense underwater sensor networks (UWSN), the major confronts are high
error probability, incessant variation in topology of sensor nodes, and much
energy consumption for data transmission. However, there are some remarkable
applications of UWSN such as management of seabed and oil reservoirs,
exploration of deep sea situation and prevention of aqueous disasters. In order
to accomplish these applications, ignorance of the limitations of acoustic
communications such as high delay and low bandwidth is not feasible. In this
paper, we propose Adaptive mobility of Courier nodes in Threshold-optimized
Depth-based routing (AMCTD), exploring the proficient amendments in depth
threshold and implementing the optimal weight function to achieve longer
network lifetime. We segregate our scheme in 3 major phases of weight updating,
depth threshold variation and adaptive mobility of courier nodes. During data
forwarding, we provide the framework for alterations in threshold to cope with
the sparse condition of network. We ultimately perform detailed simulations to
scrutinize the performance of our proposed scheme and its comparison with other
two notable routing protocols in term of network lifetime and other essential
parameters. The simulations results verify that our scheme performs better than
the other techniques and near to optimal in the field of UWSN.Comment: 8th International Conference on Broadband and Wireless Computing,

Improved Fair-Zone technique using Mobility Prediction in WSN
The self-organizational ability of ad-hoc Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) has
led them to be the most popular choice in ubiquitous computing. Clustering
sensor nodes organizing them hierarchically have proven to be an effective
method to provide better data aggregation and scalability for the sensor
network while conserving limited energy. It has some limitation in energy and
mobility of nodes. In this paper we propose a mobility prediction technique
which tries overcoming above mentioned problems and improves the life time of
the network. The technique used here is Exponential Moving Average for online
updates of nodal contact probability in cluster based network.Comment: 10 pages, 7 figures, Published in International Journal Of Advanced

Narrowband delay tolerant protocols for WSN applications. Characterization and selection guide
This article focuses on delay tolerant protocols for Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) applications, considering both established and new protocols. We obtained a comparison of their characteristics by implementing all of them on an original platform for network simulation, and by testing their behavior on a common test-bench. Thereafter, matching the requirements linked to each application with the performances achieved in the test-bench, allowed us to define an application oriented protocol selection guide
Energy Efficient Scheduling for Loss Tolerant IoT Applications with Uninformed Transmitter
In this work we investigate energy efficient packet scheduling problem for
the loss tolerant applications. We consider slow fading channel for a point to
point connection with no channel state information at the transmitter side
(CSIT). In the absence of CSIT, the slow fading channel has an outage
probability associated with every transmit power. As a function of data loss
tolerance parameters and peak power constraints, we formulate an optimization
problem to minimize the average transmit energy for the user equipment (UE).
The optimization problem is not convex and we use stochastic optimization
technique to solve the problem. The numerical results quantify the effect of
different system parameters on average transmit power and show significant
power savings for the loss tolerant applications.Comment: Published in ICC 201
Proactive Highly Ambulatory Sensor Routing (PHASeR) protocol for mobile wireless sensor networks
This paper presents a novel multihop routing protocol for mobile wireless sensor networks called PHASeR (Proactive Highly Ambulatory Sensor Routing). The proposed protocol
uses a simple hop-count metric to enable the dynamic and robust routing of data towards the sink in mobile environments. It is motivated by the application of radiation mapping by unmanned vehicles, which requires the reliable and timely delivery of regular measurements to the sink. PHASeR maintains a gradient metric in mobile environments by using a global TDMA MAC layer. It also uses the technique of blind forwarding to pass messages through the network in a multipath manner. PHASeR is analysed mathematically based on packet delivery ratio, average packet delay, throughput and overhead. It is then simulated with varying mobility, scalability and traffic loads. The protocol gives good results over all measures, which suggests that it may also be suitable for a wider array of emerging applications
