Sensor Network Lab Exercises Using TinyOS and MicaZ Motes

چکیده
MIT Technology Review lists sensor networks as one of “Ten Emerging Technologies That Will Change the World” [1]. This paper describes three lab exercises that are suitable for activity-driven teaching of sensor networks to undergraduate students. The exercises are derived from the TinyOS tutorial, and MicaZ motes were used. The first exercise is about uploading a simple blink program to one mote. In the second exercise, several motes use radio communication. The third exercise uses a sensor board to take measurements, and the data is sent back and displayed on a traditional computer. We describe our experiences, lessons and code alterations.

MIT Technology Review lists sensor networks as one of “Ten Emerging Technologies That Will Change the World” [1]. This paper extends our earlier paper [7], and describes three additional lab exercises, derived from the TinyOS tutorials and using MicaZ motes, that are suitable for activity-driven teaching of sensor networks to undergraduate students. One exercise includes some actual coding, and...
متن کاملSteel, Cast Iron and Concrete: Security Engineering for Real World Wireless Sensor Networks
What are the real security issues for a wireless sensor network (WSN) intended to monitor the structural health of a suspension bridge, a subway tunnel or a water distribution pipe? Could an attack on the sensor network cause the structure to collapse? How easy is it for civil engineers or other domain experts to build a secure WSN using commercially available hardware and software? We answer t...
متن کاملApplication of Wireless Sensor Networks to Automobiles
Some applications of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) to the automobile are identified, and the use of Crossbow MICAz motes operating at 2.4 GHz is considered together with TinyOS support. These WSNs are conceived in order to measure, process and supply to the user diverse types of information during an automobile journey. Examples are acceleration and fuel consumption, identification of incorre...
متن کاملPoster Abstract: AMSecure—Secure Link-Layer Communication in TinyOS for IEEE 802.15.4-based Wireless Sensor Networks
Many wireless sensor networks (WSNs) for medical, military, and control applications require strong security protection of messages. Yet, the algorithms and protocols used must be efficient in space and time due to the constrained resources of sensor devices. Existing link-layer security solutions for WSNs, such as SPINS [3] and TinySec [2]), rely on software-level encryption and authentication...
متن کاملEnergy-Efficient Implementation of ECDH Key Exchange for Wireless Sensor Networks
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are playing a vital role in an ever-growing number of applications ranging from environmental surveillance over medical monitoring to home automation. Since WSNs are often deployed in unattended or even hostile environments, they can be subject to various malicious attacks, including the manipulation and capture of nodes. The establishment of a shared secret key ...
