Two novel subjective logic-based in-network data processing schemes in wireless sensor networks
2016
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) consist of connected low-cost and small-size sensor nodes. The sensor nodes are characterized by various limitations, such as energy availability, processing power, and storage capacity. Typically, nodes collect data from an environment and transmit the raw or processed data to a sink. However, the collected data contains often redundant information. An in-network processing scheme attempts to eliminate or reduce such redundancy in sensed data. In this paper, we propose two in-network data processing schemes for WSNs, which are built based on a lightweight algebra for data processing. The schemes bring also benefits like decreased network traffic load and inc…
Experimental Characterization of Mobile Fading Channels Aiming the Design of Non-Wearable Fall Detection Radio Systems at 5.9 GHz
2016
One of the major concerns for the independent living of elderlies is a fall incident. To decrease human interaction errors and user privacy concerns of existing fall detection systems, a new generation of fall detection systems is emerging. The new trend is to design non-wearable devices that can monitor the physical activities of the home user using radio waves reflected off the body. This paper reports an in-home radio measurement campaign at 5.9 GHz, which has been conducted to study the impacts of different physical activities of the user, including fall incidents, on the channel transfer function (CTF) and the power delay profile (PDP) of indoor mobile radio channels. The home is equip…
Subjective Logic-Based In-Network Data Processing for Trust Management in Collocated and Distributed Wireless Sensor Networks
2018
While analyzing an explosive amount of data collected in today’s wireless sensor networks (WSNs), the redundant information in the sensed data needs to be handled. In-network data processing is a technique which can eliminate or reduce such redundancy, leading to minimized resource consumption. On the other hand, trust management techniques establish trust relationships among nodes and detect unreliable nodes. In this paper, we propose two novel in-network data processing schemes for trust management in static WSNs. The first scheme targets at networks, where sensor nodes are closely collocated to report the same event. Considering both spatial and temporal correlations, this scheme generat…
