چکیده

We present SOS, a new operating system for mote-class sensor nodes that supports run-time reconfiguration of the embedded software. The architecture of SOS consists of dynamically-loaded modules and a statically compiled kernel (ref. figure 1). An application in SOS is composed of one or more modules interacting via asynchronous messages or function calls. Modules are position independent binaries that implement a specific task or function. They operate on their own state which is dynamically allocated at run-time. Examples of modules are routing protocols, sensor drivers and application programs etc.

Static Checking for Dynamic Resource Management in Sensor Network Systems

Many sensor network systems expose general interfaces to system developers for dynamically creating and/or manipulating resources of various kinds. While these interfaces allow programmers to accomplish common system tasks simply and efficiently, they also admit the potential for programmers to mismanage resources, for example through leaked resources or improper resource sharing. These kinds o...

An efficient solution for management of pre-distribution in wireless sensor networks

A sensor node is composed of different parts including processing units, sensor, transmitter, receiver, and security unit. There are many nodes in a sensor unit. These networks can be used for military, industrial, medicine, environmental, house, and many other applications. These nodes may be established in the lands of enemies to monitor the relations. Hence, it is important to consider conse...

Efficient Incremental Reprogramming of Sensor Nodes using Function Call Indirections and Difference Computation

Wireless reprogramming of sensor nodes is an essential requirement for long-lived networks due to changes in the functionality of the software running on the nodes. The amount of information that needs to be wirelessly transmitted during reprogramming should be minimized to reduce reprogramming time and energy. In this paper, we present a multi-hop incremental reprogramming protocol called Zeph...

An Online Reprogrammable Operating System for Wireless Sensor Networks

Wireless sensor networks enjoy some unique characteristics. For example, sensor network are often autonomous, long-lived and rely on battery as the power source. In this paper, we thus improve the SOS kernel to address these unique characteristics. Firstly, we design and implement the hot-swapping capability in SOS that allows a module to be upgraded on the fly. In our system, the hot-swapping ...

Target Tracking Based on Virtual Grid in Wireless Sensor Networks

One of the most important and typical application of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is target tracking. Although target tracking, can provide benefits for large-scale WSNs and organize them into clusters but tracking a moving target in cluster-based WSNs suffers a boundary problem. The main goal of this paper was to introduce an efficient and novel mobility management protocol namely Target Tr...
