The mote connectivity protocol
نویسندگان
چکیده
An attractive architecture for sensor networks is to have the sensing devices mounted on small computers, called motes. Motes are battery-powered, and can communicate in a wireless fashion by broadcasting messages over radio frequency. In mote networks, the connectivity of a mote u can be defined by those motes that can receive messages from u with high probability and those motes from which u can receive messages with high probability. In this paper, we describe a protocol that can be triggered by any mote in a mote network in order that each mote in the network computes its connectivity. The protocol is simple and has several energy saving features. We implemented this protocol over TinyOS and discuss the results of some execution runs of this implementation.

Mote Herding for Tiered Wireless Sensor Networks
We propose Mote Herding, a new system architecture for large scale, heterogeneous sensor networks. Mote herding uses a mix of many 8-bit sensor nodes (motes) and fewer but more powerful 32-bit sensor nodes (microservers). Mote herding groups motes into flocks that are connected via a multihop network to a microserver acting as a shepherd. Shepherds exploit their greater communications and compu...

متن کاملAn efficient symmetric polynomial-based key establishment protocol for wireless sensor networks
An essential requirement for providing secure services in wireless sensor networks is the ability to establish pairwise keys among sensors. Due to resource constraints on the sensors, the key establishment scheme should not create significant overhead. To date, several key establishment schemes have been proposed. Some of these have appropriate connectivity and resistance against key exposure, ...

متن کاملExperiments with Robots and Sensor Networks for Mapping and Navigation
In this paper we describe experiments with networks of robots and sensors in support of search and rescue and first response operations. The system we consider includes a network of Mica Mote sensors that can monitor temperature, light, and the movement of the structure on which they rest. We also consider an extension to chemical sensing in simulation only. An ATRV-Mini robot is extended with ...
