• OPNET simulation model, which can be used to study the
performance of routing protocols used in the defined
hierarchical network, is developed:
– Delay from sensor to gateway
– Delay from gateway to sensors when commands from
user have been send to sensors
– Throughput of the communication
– Scalability of the routing protocols

• Simulation results will be shown:


– for different routing protocols (OLSR, AODV, DSR),
– for different network scenarios (size of the network,
number of nodes, …)
– for different network traffic scenarios

OLSR = Optimized Link State Routing


AODV = Ad-Hoc on Demand Distance Vector
DSR = Dynamic Source Routing

Cross-layer design
• Traditional layered protocol design is not efficient
– Interactions between different layers must be taken into
account to achieve optimal performance
• There are several factors in the PHY and MAC layers that
can be used to optimize the energy consumption in WSNs
– At the PHY layer, the use of a proper error control
coding is a good way to decrease the energy
consumption.
– At the MAC layer, arguably the best way to save energy
is to put the nodes to sleep whenever possible
• The most energy efficient solution will be achieved when
the PHY and MAC layers are designed in a joint matter.
• Develop a cross-layer model for PHY and MAC layers for
WSN transceivers
• Study the use of forward error correction (FEC) coding and
the set-up of awake/sleep periods in WSN radios

e-Sense
• The e-Sense project is an EU FP6 project on convergent
wireless sensor networks
• The goal is to develop cross-layer protocols and
architectures that support the integration of next
generation context collection using wireless sensors with
B3G

active in architecture and demonstration activities
• Continuation as a SENSEI has been applied in EU FP7

• The aim is to find out possible distributed location
algorithms and ranging techniques to be used in
wireless sensor networks, such as UWB WSN, etc.
• Possible ranging techniques
– time-of-arrival (TOA)
– time-difference-of-arrival (TDOA)
– received-signal-strength (RSS)
– direction-of-arrival (DOA)
• TDOA or TOA are preferred to be used with UWB
radios.

• There exist algorithms which can perform
localization in fully distributed manner.
• If it is possible to use anchor nodes (static or
mobile) in localization, algorithms can provide
absolute coordinates.
• If there are not anchor nodes in the network,
algorithms can provide relative position
information. Relative coordinates provided by
distributed sensor network can be converted to
absolute coordinates in the central node, which
have knowledge of own absolute coordinates.

Also work for Wibree

• Nokia’s new Wibree concept


– Work for early Wibree has been done in Trillian project
at CWC few years ago
– Earlier known as the Bluetooth light concept

Wibree radio specification:


Wibree radio specification enables dual-mode implementations to reuse
Bluetooth RF part but also to guarantee ultra low power consumption for
devices with embedded stand-alone implementation of the Wibree
specification. Wibree operates in 2.4 GHz ISM band with physical layer
bit rate of 1 Mbps and provides link distance of 5-10 meters.
