Due to multi-hop routing and many-to-one data traffic pattern of wireless sensor networks (WSNs), the sensor nodes near to the sink have heavier relay traffic that makes them to deplete their energy much faster than sensor nodes in other parts of the monitored space. This uneven energy consumption can cause energy hole around the sink. During this case, the sensed data cannot be successfully routed to the sink. To deal with this problem, we propose an energy balanced mobile agents based data dissemination (EBMADD) protocol that employ multiple mobile agents for data aggregation and collection task. We performed simulation experiments to evaluate the performance of the EBMADD protocol and the results show that our proposed protocol will balance the energy consumption among all the sensor nodes and prolong the lifetime of network.
由于无线传感器网络的多跳路由和多对一数据流量模式,靠近汇聚节点的传感器节点具有更重的中继流量,这使得它们比位于监控空间其他部分的传感器节点更快地耗尽能量。这种不均匀的能量消耗会在水槽周围造成能量空洞。在这种情况下,感测数据无法成功路由到接收器。为了解决这一问题,我们提出了一种基于能量平衡移动代理的数据传播(EBMADD)协议,该协议使用多个移动代理来完成数据聚合和收集任务。通过仿真实验对EBMADD协议的性能进行了评估,结果表明该协议能够平衡各传感器节点之间的能量消耗,延长网络的生命周期。

Efficient dynamic spectrum access in vehicular networks using filterbank multicarrier 基于滤波器组多载波的车载网络高效动态频谱接入

Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM), widely recommended for sharing the spectrum among different nodes in a dynamic spectrum access network, imposes tight timing and frequency synchronization requirements. We examine the use of filterbank multicarrier (FBMC), a some-what lesser known and understood alternative, for dynamic spectrum access in vehicular networks. FBMC promises very low out-of-band energy of each subcarrier signal when compared to OFDM. In order to fully understand and evaluate the promise of FBMC in mobile, outdoor settings, we first examine the use of special pulse shaping filters of the FBMC PHY layer in reliably transmitting data packets at a very high rate. Next, to gain an understanding of the cross-layer performance of FBMC, as well as to understand its impact beyond the PHY layer, we build a discrete event simulator using realistic models. Using extensive simulations, we show that FBMC consistently achieves an order of magnitude performance improvement over OFDM in terms of packet transmission delays and effective data transmission rate available to each node, over large distances in comparison to OFDM. Finally, our analysis in the case of multi-hop networks shows that FBMC can achieve about 20x smaller end-to-end data packet delivery delays, and relatively low packet drop probabilities in comparison to OFDM. In summary, our results can serve as guidelines for designing ad hoc, dynamic spectrum access communication standards for future vehicular networks.
正交频分复用(OFDM)被广泛推荐用于动态频谱接入网中不同节点之间的频谱共享,它对时序和频率同步要求严格。我们研究了滤波器组多载波(FBMC)的使用,这是一种鲜为人知的替代方案,用于车辆网络中的动态频谱接入。与OFDM相比,FBMC保证每个子载波信号的带外能量非常低。为了充分理解和评估FBMC在移动、户外环境中的前景,我们首先研究了FBMC物理层的特殊脉冲整形滤波器在以非常高的速率可靠地传输数据包中的使用。接下来,为了了解FBMC的跨层性能,以及了解其在物理层之外的影响,我们使用现实模型构建了一个离散事件模拟器。通过广泛的模拟,我们表明,与OFDM相比,在长距离上,FBMC在数据包传输延迟和每个节点可用的有效数据传输速率方面始终比OFDM实现了一个数量级的性能改进。最后,我们对多跳网络的分析表明,与OFDM相比,FBMC可以实现大约20倍的端到端数据包传输延迟,并且丢包概率相对较低。总之,我们的研究结果可以作为设计未来车辆网络的自组织、动态频谱接入通信标准的指导方针。

An adaptive localization system for first responders 第一响应者自适应定位系统
Pub Date : 2011-12-18 DOI: 10.1145/2185216.2185255
F. Pascucci, R. Setola
In this contribution a technique for first responders localization support in emergency indoor scenarios is presented. Although localization and mapping has been largely investigated in the field of mobile robotics, it is still a big challenge in emergency response due to the demanding operating conditions. The peculiarity of the proposed system relies on the integration between human operators and robots in a hybrid team. Localization technique takes advantages both from a pre-installed set of landmarks and a self-deployable sensor network composed by tags dropped by rescuers. The main contribution of the paper is the development and the testing of a localization procedure for hybrid rescue teams, able to handle both a priori knowledge, i.e., maps of the environment, with large uncertainties and information updated during rescue tasks.
在这个贡献的第一响应者定位支持技术在紧急室内场景提出。虽然在移动机器人领域已经有了大量的定位和绘图研究,但由于操作条件苛刻,在应急响应中仍然是一个很大的挑战。所提出的系统的独特性依赖于混合团队中人类操作员和机器人之间的集成。定位技术利用了预先安装的一组地标和由救援人员扔下的标签组成的可自行部署的传感器网络。本文的主要贡献是开发和测试混合救援队的定位程序,能够处理先验知识,即环境地图,具有很大的不确定性和救援任务期间更新的信息。

We explore the use of unique device characteristics that we call fingerprints, and unique wireless link characteristics that we call link signatures, for enhancing wireless network security. Our fingerprinting research complements the traditional password and certificate methods for authenticating and identifying devices. Specifically, we show how the clock skew of an access point can be used as its fingerprint to detect unauthorized access points in wireless local area networks quickly and accurately.

In multitier visual sensor networks, the constraints faced during node communication is horizontal collaboration and limited life time of visual sensor networks. During horizontal communication between the visual sensor nodes, there is a need for selecting the number of neighboring nodes in the region having more or less common field of view to reduce the redundant information transmitted to the base station. This work introduces an overlapping based energy aware approach for selecting the node which will be transmitting the image to the base station. This novel approach helps in efficient processing and to increase the life time of visual sensor networks. Analysis carried out with the proposed approach shows that the network lifetime increases by 70%.

Location and tracking of pedestrians based on inertial navigation 基于惯性导航的行人定位与跟踪
Pub Date : 2011-12-18 DOI: 10.1145/2185216.2185284
E. D. Marinis, O. Gasparini
The solution addressed here is based on inertial navigation: the output (linear acceleration and angular velocity) of a small-size inertial measurement unit, weared by the operator to be tracked, is processed to estimate the present location and the walked path. This information can be transmitted outside the intervention area, e.g. to the manager of the fire squad, to coordinate operators and possibly to start recovery actions of operators in difficulty. This paper presents the derivation of the matrix differential equations of the navigation and of the errors, followed by their discretization and estimation of the errors by a Complementary Extended Kalman Filter. Then the detection of the Zero Velocity Update is introduced to estimate the intervals when the foot is approximately still, at each step during walking, as a method to decrease the errors. Eventually, navigation error estimates are subtracted from the navigation estimate, followed by an experimental validation of the method.
这里讨论的解决方案是基于惯性导航的:对被跟踪的操作员所佩戴的小型惯性测量单元的输出(线性加速度和角速度)进行处理,以估计当前位置和行走路径。这些信息可以传递到干预区域之外,例如传递给消防队的经理,以协调操作人员,并可能启动陷入困境的操作人员的恢复行动。本文首先推导了导航系统的矩阵微分方程和误差,然后对其进行离散化,并用互补扩展卡尔曼滤波对误差进行估计。然后引入零速度更新检测来估计足部在行走过程中每一步近似静止时的间隔,以减小误差。最后,从导航估计中减去导航误差估计,然后对该方法进行实验验证。

Considering the contribution agriculture has made towards India's rapid raise in economic status, its relevance to the nation's subjects, its depth and far reaching wing span across the length and breadth of the country and foremost to account for the turmoil through which the farming community in India is going through under the current circumstances, it does deserve to be treated with higher reverence and priority. Although agriculture has made enormous contribution towards India's rapid raise in economic status, accounting for nearly 20% of the GDP and the livelihood for 58% of the population, the farmers who are the mainstay of this industry face a lot of problems in raising crops and sustaining production. This paper proposes a system that will automate the irrigation system, especially in rural India, to compensate for the flimsy, inconsistent and unreliable power supply system. Suggested design uses a Central regional scheduler server hosting an intelligent software working alongside with remote microcontroller based sensors to get up to date environmental parameters so as to assist it to work out the best array of water pumps to be turned on at a given instance. Sensor devices are kept at the vicinity of where the water pumps are so that influential decision making parameters can be sensed and fed to the intelligent software stationed at the central server. It uses mobile technology to handshake between the central server and the sensor controllers. Various derivatives of the same are discussed which need to be weighed in terms of their practicality, ease of deployment and of course the cost factor. It also helps the nation to preserve both water and electricity by enforcing controlled but adequate usage of the same.
考虑到农业对印度经济地位迅速提高的贡献,它与国家主题的相关性,它在全国范围内的深度和深远的翼幅,以及最重要的是在当前情况下解释了印度农业社区正在经历的动荡,它确实应该得到更高的尊重和优先考虑。尽管农业对印度经济地位的快速提高做出了巨大贡献,占GDP的近20%,占人口的58%,但作为该产业支柱的农民在种植作物和维持生产方面面临许多问题。本文提出了一种将灌溉系统自动化的系统,特别是在印度农村,以弥补脆弱,不稳定和不可靠的电力供应系统。建议的设计使用一个中央区域调度服务器,托管一个智能软件,与基于远程微控制器的传感器一起工作,以获取最新的环境参数,从而帮助它计算出在给定情况下要启动的最佳水泵阵列。传感器设备被放置在水泵附近,以便有影响的决策参数可以被感知并馈送到位于中央服务器的智能软件。它使用移动技术在中央服务器和传感器控制器之间进行握手。讨论了相同的各种衍生产品,需要根据其实用性,部署的便利性以及当然的成本因素进行权衡。它还通过强制控制但适当地使用水和电,帮助国家保护水和电。

Nanotechnology for sensing: emerging applications of aptamers based sensors for societal welfare 传感用纳米技术:基于适体的传感器在社会福利方面的新兴应用

New developments in nanoscience are leading to a much better understanding and control of the natural sensors and actuators. Using its own version of what scientists call nanoengineering, nature transforms abundant and inanimate ingredients into self-generating and self-repairing entities that move, reproduce and possess intelligence. With recent advances in science and technology scientists can now envision development of materials that possess intelligence and show some of the salient characteristics of living things, especially a structure intricate enough to interact with the chemical environment with selectivity (molecular recognition) and with the ability to transform that chemical environment to suit its needs (actuation). Short- chain single stranded nucleic acids (called aptamers) adopt complex 3-dimensional conformations that can exhibit specific binding abilities and enzymatic activities at ppt level of ligands. The ability of nucleic acids to be chemically synthesized inexpensively and enzymatically amplified makes them molecules of choice for sensing and responding to detrimental entities. For e.g. copper, lead, arsenic detecting aptamers have been isolated and can be planted into sensors for biomedical diagnostics, water remediation, etc. These molecules will benefit from a vehicle for their use in a physiological environment. Nanoparticles are increasingly being studied for this purpose. While utilizing their beneficial functions, possibilities of engulfment of nanoparticles by biological cells and resultant toxicity must also be taken into account. The uncertainty of nanotechnology, especially potential environmental risks of nanoparticles cannot be ignored lest we have another asbestosis to deal with. Recent research shows that depending on their surface chemistry, size, surface area, crystallinity and surface charge, nanoparticles can produce toxicity on cells via different mechanisms and need to be studied in detail.
纳米科学的新发展使我们对自然传感器和致动器有了更好的理解和控制。利用科学家们所谓的纳米工程,大自然将丰富的无生命成分转化为能够移动、繁殖和拥有智能的自我生成和自我修复的实体。随着科学技术的最新进展,科学家们现在可以设想开发出具有智能的材料,并显示出生物的一些显著特征,特别是具有足够复杂的结构,可以选择性地与化学环境相互作用(分子识别),并具有改变化学环境以适应其需要的能力(驱动)。短链单链核酸(称为适体)具有复杂的三维构象,可以在配体的ppt水平上表现出特定的结合能力和酶活性。核酸的廉价化学合成和酶扩增的能力使其成为感知和响应有害实体的首选分子。例如,铜、铅、砷的检测适体已经被分离出来,可以植入传感器中用于生物医学诊断、水修复等。这些分子将受益于在生理环境中使用的载体。纳米颗粒正越来越多地用于这一目的。在利用其有益功能的同时,纳米颗粒被生物细胞吞噬的可能性和由此产生的毒性也必须考虑在内。纳米技术的不确定性,特别是纳米颗粒的潜在环境风险不能忽视,否则我们将面临另一个石棉沉滞症。最近的研究表明,根据纳米颗粒的表面化学性质、大小、表面积、结晶度和表面电荷的不同,纳米颗粒可以通过不同的机制对细胞产生毒性,需要进行详细的研究。

Using its own version of what scientists call nanoengineering, nature transforms abundant and inanimate ingredients into self-generating and self-repairing entities that move, reproduce and possess intelligence. With recent advances in science and technology scientists can now envision development of materials that possess intelligence and show some of the salient characteristics of living things, especially a structure intricate enough to interact with the chemical environment with selectivity (molecular recognition) and with the ability to transform that chemical environment to suit its needs (actuation). Short- chain single stranded nucleic acids (called aptamers) adopt complex 3-dimensional conformations that can exhibit specific binding abilities and enzymatic activities at ppt level of ligands. The ability of nucleic acids to be chemically synthesized inexpensively and enzymatically amplified makes them molecules of choice for sensing and responding to detrimental entities. For e.g. copper, lead, arsenic detecting aptamers have been isolated and can be planted into sensors for biomedical diagnostics, water remediation, etc. These molecules will benefit from a vehicle for their use in a physiological environment. Nanoparticles are increasingly being studied for this purpose. While utilizing their beneficial functions, possibilities of engulfment of nanoparticles by biological cells and resultant toxicity must also be taken into account. The uncertainty of nanotechnology, especially potential environmental risks of nanoparticles cannot be ignored lest we have another asbestosis to deal with. Recent research shows that depending on their surface chemistry, size, surface area, crystallinity and surface charge, nanoparticles can produce toxicity on cells via different mechanisms and need to be studied in detail.","PeriodicalId":180836,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Wireless Technologies for Humanitarian Relief","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129595345","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Modern distributed systems are increasingly relying on components that need to make use of wireless technology. Examples include subsystems implemented as wireless sensor networks or subsystems making use of mobile computing platforms. In this tutorial, we'll be looking closer into wireless-only distributed systems that are extreme in one or several of the following dimensions: their size in terms of the number of nodes, the resource limitations of those nodes (memory, compute power, energy budget), or the harshness of their environment (lossy channels, mobility). In particular, we'll be discussing issues related to turning such extreme distributed systems into robust ones, addressing questions like: how to set up and maintaining routing paths, how to reliably disseminate information, and how to realize very large ultra-low duty-cycled networks. In the meantime, we draw examples from systems that are aimed at directly supporting human beings.
现代分布式系统越来越依赖于需要利用无线技术的组件。示例包括实现为无线传感器网络的子系统或利用移动计算平台的子系统。在本教程中,我们将深入研究在以下一个或几个方面表现极端的纯无线分布式系统:它们在节点数量方面的大小、这些节点的资源限制(内存、计算能力、能源预算)或其环境的严酷程度(有损通道、移动性)。特别是,我们将讨论与将这种极端分布式系统转变为强大系统相关的问题,解决如下问题:如何建立和维护路由路径,如何可靠地传播信息,以及如何实现非常大的超低占空比网络。与此同时,我们从旨在直接支持人类的系统中提取例子。
