Wireless sensor networks increasingly become viable solutions to many challenging problems and will successively be deployed in many areas in the future. However, deploying new technology without security in mind has often proved to be unreasonably dangerous. We propose a security architecture for self-organizing mobile wireless sensor networks that prevents many attacks these networks are expo...

Wireless sensor networks represent a new paradigm shift in ad hoc networks. In addition to ad hoc deployment and wireless communication capabilities, sensor nodes use on-board sensing and processing to sense (or detect) application specified events of interest. An ad hoc network of randomly deployed wireless sensor nodes is formed by having nodes pursue neighbor discovery and subsequent self or...

Wireless sensor networks will enable low-cost connections between the physical world and telecommunications networks, with applications including security, industrial automation, remote exploration, and medical monitoring. After brie y discussing the underlying technology, we describe a protocol suite for self-organization of sensor networks, in which the number and topology of the sensor nodes...

Nowadays wireless sensor networks have found their way into a wide variety of applications and systems with vastly varying requirements and characteristics, but all of them have a common element: faults are a normal fact and not isolated events as in traditional networks. Thus, in order to guarantee the network quality of service, it is essential for the sensor network to be able to detect and ...

Wireless mesh networking is one of the most promising next generation network technologies. A wireless mesh network is a decentralized, self-organizing, self-configuring and self-healing multi-hop wireless network. In this thesis, we introduce the development, architectures, characteristics and applications of wireless mesh networks and present the existing channel assignments and routing proto...

Multimedia applications over wireless networks have dramatically increased over the past years. Numerous new devices and applications that distribute audio and video over wireless networks are introduced every day and all of them demands a reliable and efficient wireless standard. Either operating as independent ad-hoc networks or as terminal parts of wired networks or the internet, wireless ne...
