چکیده
Wireless technologies have achieved dramatic growth in recent years. Wireless sensor networks (WSN), in particular, have captured the interest of various sectors. The increasing popularity of WSN has motivated universities to include the subject in their curricula. Effective learning and teaching of WSN, however, require the students to gain hands-on experiences in developing WSN projects, which help the students to understand the strength and limitations of this new technology. In this paper we report our experience of teaching WSN by requiring students to develop emulation-based labs following pre-designed template projects. The projects make it easier for the instructor adopt WSN labs in the teaching, and help to smooth the student’s learning curve.

متن کاملTarget 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...
متن کاملAn Adaptive LEACH-based Clustering Algorithm for Wireless Sensor Networks
LEACH is the most popular clastering algorithm in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). However, it has two main drawbacks, including random selection of cluster heads, and direct communication of cluster heads with the sink. This paper aims to introduce a new centralized cluster-based routing protocol named LEACH-AEC (LEACH with Adaptive Energy Consumption), which guarantees to generate balanced cl...
