Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) arebecoming increasingly popular, and very useful in militaryapplications and environmental monitoring. However,security is a major challenge for WSNs because they areusually setup in unprotected environments. Our goal in thisstudy is to simulate an Intrusion Detection System (IDS)that monitors the WSN and report intrusions accurately andeffectively. We have thus...

A promising new technology, wireless mesh networks are playing an increasingly important role in the future generations of wireless mobile networks. Characterized by dynamic self-organization, self-configuration, and self-healing to enable quick deployment, easy maintenance, low cost, high scalability, and reliable services, this technology is becoming a vital mode complementary to the infrastr...

Estimates of contact among children, used for infectious disease transmission models and understanding social patterns, historically rely on self-report logs. Recently, wireless sensor technology has enabled objective measurement of proximal contact and comparison of data from the two methods. These are mostly small-scale studies, and knowledge gaps remain in understanding contact and mixing pa...

Radio channel characteristics of mobile nodes are quite different compared with the traditional stationary base station to mobile radio channel. Wireless link reliability estimation is necessary for self-organization of wireless mobile multihop networks. In this paper, we measure narrowband path loss measurements in a typical mobile-to-mobile radio environment. For application, we proposed a me...

E-mail: [email protected] Over the past few years the use of wireless LANs has evolved from a curiosity to a necessity. When we travel to many Starbucks or McDonalds, visit an airport or check into a hotel or motel the chances are high that we are able to access the Internet via a wireless LAN connec...

Wireless mesh networks o er many advantages in terms of connectivity and reliability. They provide multiple paths between nodes and are self healing. Traditionally, wireless mesh networks were used with nodes equipped with a single radio. There are however, limitations in single radio wireless mesh networks, such as lower throughput and its limited use of the available wireless channels. This r...

The modern information society will continue to emerge, and demand for wireless communication services will grow. Future generation wireless networks are considered necessary for the support of emerging services with their increasing requirements. Future generation wireless networks are characterized by a distributed, dynamic, self-organizing architecture (I. F. Akyildiz et al., 2006). These wi...

Future Internet network management systems are expected to incorporate self-x capabilities in order to tackle the increased management needs that cannot be addressed through human intervention. Towards this end, Self-NET developed a self-management framework based on the introduction of cognitive capabilities in network elements. In this paper, the experimentation platform for “Coverage and Cap...

Self-organization in Wireless Mesh Networks (WMN) is an emergent research area, which is becoming important due to the increasing number of nodes in a network. Consequently, the manual configuration of nodes is either impossible or highly costly. So it is desirable for the nodes to be able to configure themselves. In this paper, we propose an alternative architecture for self-organization of WM...

Networks considered in this paper consist of tiny energy constrained commodity sensors massively deployed in an area of interest. In a wireless sensor network, energy conservation is the primary design goal. This paper describes an Energy Efficient self Organization Scheduling Scheme (EEOSS), a simple event-driven and leader-based self-organization. It provides and maintains a communication str...
