Abstract: Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have wide variety
of applications and provide limitless future potentials. Nodes in
WSNs are prone to failure due to energy depletion, hardware failure,
communication link errors, malicious attacks, and so on. Therefore,
fault tolerance is one of the critical issues in WSNs. We study how
fault tolerance is addressed in different applications of WSNs. Fault
tolerant routing is a critical task for sensor networks operating in
dynamic environments. Many routing, power management, and data
dissemination protocols have been specifically designed for WSNs
where energy awareness is an essential design issue. The focus,
however, has been given to the routing protocols which might differ
depending on the application and network architecture.
Abstract: Solar power plants(SPPs) have shown a lot of good outcomes
in providing a various functions depending on industrial expectations by
deploying ad-hoc networking with helps of light loaded and battery powered
sensor nodes. In particular, it is strongly requested to develop an algorithm to
deriver the sensing data from the end node of solar power plants to the sink node
on time. In this paper, based on the above observation we have proposed an
IEEE802.15.4 based self routing scheme for solar power plants. The proposed
beacon based priority routing Algorithm (BPRA) scheme utilizes beacon
periods in sending message with embedding the high priority data and thus
provides high quality of service(QoS) in the given criteria. The performance
measures are the packet Throughput, delivery, latency, total energy
consumption. Simulation results under TinyOS Simulator(TOSSIM) have
shown the proposed scheme outcome the conventional Ad hoc On-Demand
Distance Vector(AODV) Routing in solar power plants.
Abstract: In recent years, it has been proposed security
architecture for sensor network.[2][4]. One of these, TinySec by Chris
Kalof, Naveen Sastry, David Wagner had proposed Link layer security
architecture, considering some problems of sensor network. (i.e :
energy, bandwidth, computation capability,etc). The TinySec employs
CBC_mode of encryption and CBC-MAC for authentication based on
SkipJack Block Cipher. Currently, This TinySec is incorporated in the
TinyOS for sensor network security.
This paper introduces TinyHash based on general hash algorithm.
TinyHash is the module in order to replace parts of authentication and
integrity in the TinySec. it implies that apply hash algorithm on
TinySec architecture. For compatibility about TinySec, Components
in TinyHash is constructed as similar structure of TinySec. And
TinyHash implements the HMAC component for authentication and
the Digest component for integrity of messages. Additionally, we
define the some interfaces for service associated with hash algorithm.
Abstract: This paper describes the smart energy monitoring system with a wireless sensor network for monitoring of electrical usage in smart house. Proposed system is composed of wireless plugs and energy control wallpad server. The wireless plug integrates an AC power socket, a relay to switch the socket ON/OFF, a Hall effect sensor to sense current of load appliance and a Kmote. The Kmote is a wireless communication interface based on TinyOS. We evaluated wireless plug in a laboratory, analyzed and presented energy consumption data from electrical appliances for 3 months in home.
