Full textSensor networks have diverse structures and generally employ proprietary protocols to gather useful information about the physical world. This diversity generates problems to interact with these sensors since custom APIs are needed which are tedious, error prone and have steep learning curve. In this thesis, I present RESThing, a lightweight REST framework for wireless sensor networks to ease the process of interacting with these sensors by making them accessible over the Web. I evaluate the system and show that it is feasible to support widely used and standard Web protocols in wireless sensor networks. Being able to integrate these tiny devices seamlessly into the global information medium, we can achieve the Web of Things.

Full texts mobility without intervention. SWS networks not only communicate with each other through mobileWireless Sensor Networks (WSN) but also cooperate with them to form a global hybrid Wireless Sensor Network. Such a hybrid network has its own problems and opportunities, some of which have been studied in this thesis work. Assuming that direct position measurements are not always feasible tracking performance of the sycophant using range only measurements for various communication intervals is studied. Then this framework was used to create a hybrid 2D map of the environment utilizing the capabilities of the mobile network the sycophant. In order to show possible applications of a sycophant deployment, the sycophant sensor node was equipped with a laser ranger as its sensor, and it was let to create a 2D map of its environment. This 2D map, which corresponds to a height dierent than the follower network, was merged with the 2D map of the mobile network forming a novel rough 3D map. Then by giving up from the need to properly localize the sycophant even when it is disconnected to the rest of the network, a full 3D map of the environment is obtained by fusing 2D map and tracking capabilities of the mobile network with the 2D vertical scans of the environment by the sycophant. And finally connectivity problems that arise from the hybrid sensor/actuator network were solved. For this 2 new connectivity maintenance algorithms, one based on the helix structures of the proteins, and the other based on the acute triangulation of the space forming a Gabriel Graph, were introduced. In this new algorithms emphasis has been given to sparseness in order to increase fault tolerance to regional problems. To better asses sparseness a new measure, called Resistance was introduced, as well as another called updistance.

Full textInternet of Things (IoT) paradigm envisages to expand the current Internet witha huge number of intelligent communicating devices. Wireless Sensor Networks(WSN) deploy the devices running on meagre energy supplies and measuring environmental phenomena (like temperature, radioactivity, or CO 2 ). WSN popularapplications include monitoring, telemetry, and natural disaster prevention. Major WSN challenges are energy efficiency, overcome impairments of wireless medium, and operate in the self-organisation. The WSN integrating IoT will rely on a set of the open standards striving to offer scalability and reliability in a variety of the operating scenarios and conditions. Nevertheless, the current state of the standards have interoperability issues and can benefit from further improvements. The contributions of the thesis work are:We performed an extensive study of Bloom Filters and their use in storing nodetext-based elements in IP address. Different techniques of compression andvariants of filters allowed us to develop an efficient system closing the gapbetween feature-routing and classic approach compatible with IPv6 networks.We propose Featurecast, a routing protocol/naming service for WSN. It allowsto query sensor networks using a set of characteristics while fitting in anIPv6 packet header. We integrate our protocol in RPL and introduce a newmetric, which increase the routing efficiency. We check its performance inboth extensive simulations and experimentations on real sensors in a large-scale Senslab testbed. Large-scale simulations demonstrate the advantagesof our protocol in terms of memory usage, control overhead, packet deliveryrate and energy consumption.We introduce WEAVE - a routing protocol for networks with geolocation. Our so-lution does not use any control message and learn its paths only by observingthe traffic. Several mechanisms are introduce to keep a fixed-size header andbypass both small as well as large obstacles and provide an efficient communication between nodes. We performed simulations on large scale involvingmore than 19000 nodes and real-sensor experimentations on IoT-lab testbed. Our results show that we achieve much better performance especially in large and dynamic networks without introducing any control overhead

Full textOver the past decades, we have witnessed a proliferation of potential application domainsfor wireless sensor networks (WSN). A comprehensive number of new services such asenvironment monitoring, target tracking, military surveillance and healthcare applicationshave arisen. These networked sensors are usually deployed randomly and left unattendedto perform their mission properly and efficiently. Meanwhile, sensors have to operate ina constrained environment with functional and operational challenges mainly related toresource limitations (energy supply, scarce computational abilities...) and to the noisyreal world of deployment. This harsh environment can cause packet loss or node failurewhich hamper the network activity. Thus, continuous delivery of data requires reliabledata transmission and adaptability to the dynamic environment. Ensuring network reliabilityis consequently a key concern in WSNs and it is even more important in emergencyapplication such disaster management application where reliable data delivery is the keysuccess factor. The main objective of this thesis is to design a reliable end to end solution for data transmission fulfilling the requirements of the constrained WSNs. We tackle two design issues namely recovery from node failure and packet losses and propose solutions to enhance the network reliability. We start by studying WSNs features with a focus on technical challenges and techniques of reliability in order to identify the open issues. Based on this study, we propose a scalable and distributed approach for network recovery from nodefailures in WSNs called CoMN2. Then, we present a lightweight mechanism for packetloss recovery and route quality awareness in WSNs called AJIA. This protocol exploitsthe overhearing feature characterizing the wireless channels as an implicit acknowledgment(ACK) mechanism. In addition, the protocol allows for an adaptive selection of therouting path by achieving required retransmissions on the most reliable link. We provethat AJIA outperforms its competitor AODV in term of delivery ratio in different channelconditions. Thereafter, we present ARRP, a variant of AJIA, combining the strengthsof retransmissions, node collaboration and Forward Error Correction (FEC) in order toprovide a reliable packet loss recovery scheme. We verify the efficiency of ARRP throughextensive simulations which proved its high reliability in comparison to its competitor

Full textIn the recent past, wireless sensor networks have been introduced to use in many applications. To
design the networks, the factors needed to be considered are the coverage area, mobility, power
consumption, communication capabilities etc. The challenging goal of our project is to create a
simulator to support the wireless sensor network simulation. The network simulator (NS-2) which
supports both wire and wireless networks is implemented to be used with the wireless sensor
network. This implementation adds the sensor network classes which are environment, sensor
agent and sensor application classes and modifies the existing classes of wireless network in NS-
2. This NS-2 based simulator is used to test routing protocols – Destination-Sequenced Distance
Vector (DSDV), and Ad-Hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV) as one part of simulations.
Finally, the sensor network application models and the extension methods of this NS-2 based
simulator for simulations in specific wireless sensor network applications are proposed.

Full textWireless Sensor Network (WSN) simulators, testbeds, and environment simulators are indispensable tools for WSN research. Existing WSN tools were developed with different purposes without the intention of cooperation. Nevertheless, the development of a WSN technology (e.g, a middleware, a protocol, or an application) usually requires the cooperation among multiple tools. This calls upon a breaking of the incompatible barriers between any pair of tools.
In this thesis, I propose the Common Input and Output integration approach (the CIO approach). This approach attempts to define a standard configuration file format containing input and output data common to WSN tools. In hope that by supporting this standard configuration file format, tools can cooperate. The WiseML [23] format defined by the WISEBED [29] project is fully in compliance with the requirement of the CIO format. Therefore, it is chosen as a concrete representation of the CIO format.
To evaluate the CIO approach, I developed a bidirectional online converter for one of the WSN simulators - COOJA [42]. The converter is capable of converting between the WiseML format and COOJA's native CSC format on-the-fly. It provides not only the support for both the input and output of the WiseML format but also the functionality of converting the text format temperature log file generated by testbeds to WiseML format.
While I was working on this work, a number of other international organizations were also adding WiseML supports to their own tools. We exchanged our WiseML files and observed gratifying results: (1) WSN simulators can load each other's WiseML files and reproduce the same network topologies and scenarios in their own simulation frameworks; (2) The WiseML format scenarios generated by testbeds and environment simulators can be directly inserted into a WiseML file, and take effect during simulations; (3) The time and space overheads of the converter is acceptable and proportional to the complexity of a simulation. A WiseML file of a few hundreds KB and a format converting time of a few hundreds milliseconds can meet the requirements of most of the simulations. For example, a WiseML file containing 800 motes without scenario and trace sections has a size of approximately 200 KB, and a format converting time of around 500 milliseconds.

Full textThis thesis is dedicated to solve the localization problem in mobile wireless sensor networks. It works mainly with fingerprints features and inertial movements information. The former tackles the RSSIs values between sensors while the latter deals with the objets movement attitude by using accelerometer and gyroscope. The combination of both information is performed in terms of interval analysis, or Kalman filtering. The proposed work introduces three orders mobility models to approximate nodes trajectories using accelerations, combined then to the weighted K nearest neighbors algorithm in a centralized scheme. Then the mobility models are extended up to the inertial information taking into consideration the rotations of the nodes. A decentralized localization method is also proposed in the following in view of the working mechanism of large scale sensor networks. Finally, this thesis proposes a zoning localization method aiming at determining the zones in which the nodes reside. The proposed method addresses the zoning problem by using both the belief functions theory and the interval analysis

Full textWireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have been regarded as an emerging and promising field in both academia and industry. Currently, such networks are deployed due to their unique properties, such as self-organization and ease of deployment. However, there are still some technical challenges needed to be addressed, such as energy and network capacity constraints. Data aggregation, as a fundamental solution, processes information at sensor level as a useful digest, and only transmits the digest to the sink. The energy and capacity consumptions are reduced due to less data packets transmission. As a key category of data aggregation, aggregation function, solving how to aggregate information at sensor level, is investigated in this thesis. We make four main contributions: firstly, we propose two new networking-oriented metrics to evaluate the performance of aggregation function: aggregation ratio and packet size coefficient. Aggregation ratio is used to measure the energy saving by data aggregation, and packet size coefficient allows to evaluate the network capacity change due to data aggregation. Using these metrics, we confirm that data aggregation saves energy and capacity whatever the routing or MAC protocol is used. Secondly, to reduce the impact of sensitive raw data, we propose a data-independent aggregation method which benefits from similar data evolution and achieves better recovered fidelity. Thirdly, a property-independent aggregation function is proposed to adapt the dynamic data variations. Comparing to other functions, our proposal can fit the latest raw data better and achieve real adaptability without assumption about the application and the network topology. Finally, considering a given application, a target accuracy, we classify the forecasting aggregation functions by their performances. The networking-oriented metrics are used to measure the function performance, and a Markov Decision Process is used to compute them. Dataset characterization and classification framework are also presented to guide researcher and engineer to select an appropriate functions under specific requirements

Full textThe goal of the thesis is to investigate the issues related to the temporal link quality variation in large scale WSN environments, to design energy efficient link quality estimators able to distinguish among links with different quality on a short and a long term. First, we investigate the characteristics of two physical layer metrics: RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indication) and LQI (Link Quality Indication) on SensLAB, an indoor large scale wireless sensor network testbed. We observe that RSSI and LQI have distinct values that can discriminate the quality of links. Second, to obtain an estimator of PRR, we have fitted a Fermi-Dirac function to the scatter diagram of the average and standard variation of LQI and RSSI. The function enables us to find PRR for a given level of LQI. We evaluate the estimator by computing PRR over a varying size window of transmissions and comparing with the estimator. Furthermore, we show using the Gilbert-Elliot two-state Markov model that the correlation of packet losses and successful receptions depend on the link category. The model allows to accurately distinguish among strongly varying intermediate links based on transition probabilities derived from the average and the standard variation of LQI. Finally, we propose a link quality routing model driven from the F-D fitting functions and the Markov model able to discriminate accurately link categories as well as high variable links
