Efficient Actor Recovery Paradigm for Wireless Sensor and Actor Networks

Efficient Actor Recovery Paradigm for Wireless Sensor and Actor Networks

The actor nodes are the spine of wireless sensor and actor networks (WSANs) that collaborate to perform a specific task in an unverified and uneven environment. Thus, there is a possibility of high failure rate in such unfriendly scenarios due to several factors such as power consumption of devices, electronic circuit failure, software errors in nodes or physical impairment of the actor nodes a...

Aom: an Efficient Approach to Restore Actor-actor Connectivity in Wireless Sensor and Actor Networks

Wireless sensor and actor networks (WSANs) consist of powerful actors and resource constraint sensors that are linked together in wireless networks. They mostly rely on actors to make proper decisions and perform desired coordination to achieve the goals of the entire network. They are usually deployed in critical applications and actor-actor network connectivity is thus vital to their effectiv...

Intelligent Actor Mobility in Wireless Sensor and Actor Networks

In wireless sensor and actor network research, the commonly used mobility models for a mobile actor are random walk model, random waypoint mobility model, or variants thereof. For a fully connected network, the choice of mobility model for the actor is not critical because, there is at least one assured path from the sensor nodes to the actor node. But, for a sparsely connected network where in...

Performance evaluation of single and multi-channel actor to actor communication for wireless sensor actor networks

The paper discusses two distributed actor to actor communication schemes (a single channel one and a multi-channel one) for wireless sensor actor networks (WSANs). The performance of these two schemes is evaluated through analysis and simulation. The simulation results show that the whole analysis is fairly accurate. It is further proven that the multichannel scheme has better performance than ...
