Cost-Effective eHealth System Based on a Multi-Sensor System-on-Chip Platform and Data Fusion in Cloud for Sport Activity Monitoring

2018

eHealth systems provide medical support to users and contribute to the development of mobile and quality health care. They also provide results on the prevention and follow-up of diseases by monitoring health-status indicators and methodical data gathering in patients. Telematic management of health services by means of the Internet of Things provides immediate support and it is cheaper than conventional physical presence methods. Currently, wireless communications and sensor networks allow a person or group to be monitored remotely. The aim of this paper is to develop and assess a system for monitoring physiological parameters to be applied in different scenarios, such as health or sports.…

Hankelet-based action classification for motor intention recognition

2017

Powered lower-limb prostheses require a natural, and an easy-to-use, interface for communicating amputee’s motor intention in order to select the appropriate motor program in any given context, or simply to commute from active (powered) to passive mode of functioning. To be widely accepted, such an interface should not put additional cognitive load at the end-user, it should be reliable and minimally invasive. In this paper we present a one such interface based on a robust method for detecting and recognizing motor actions from a low-cost wearable sensor network mounted on a sound leg providing inertial (accelerometer, gyrometer and magnetometer) data in real-time. We assume that the sensor…

Adaptive consensus-based distributed detection in WSN with unreliable links

2016

Event detection is a crucial tasks in wireless sensor networks. The importance of a fast response makes distributed strategies, where nodes exchange information just with their one-hop neighbors to reach local decisions, more adequate than schemes where all nodes send observations to a central entity. Distributed detectors are usually based on average consensus, where all nodes iteratively communicate to asymptotically agree on a final result. In a realistic scenario, communications are subject to random failures, which impacts the performance of the consensus. We propose an alternative detector, which adapts to the statistical properties of the consensus and compensate deviations from the …

Reliable diagnostics using wireless sensor networks

2019

International audience; Monitoring activities in industry may require the use of wireless sensor networks, for instance due to difficult access or hostile environment. But it is well known that this type of networks has various limitations like the amount of disposable energy. Indeed, once a sensor node exhausts its resources, it will be dropped from the network, stopping so to forward information about maybe relevant features towards the sink. This will result in broken links and data loss which impacts the diagnostic accuracy at the sink level. It is therefore important to keep the network's monitoring service as long as possible by preserving the energy held by the nodes. As packet trans…

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…

En este trabajo, consideramos el problema de la estimación espacial distribuida para la reconstrucción del campo radio en redes de sensores inalámbricos. Para estimar el campo, se utiliza una técnica geoestadística llamada kriging. La estimación espacial centralizada con un gran número de sensores conllevan un elevado coste computacional y gasto de energía. Presentamos un novedoso algoritmo de clustering distribuido para estimar mapas de interferencia espacial, que son esenciales para las operaciones y la gestión de las futuras redes inalámbricas. En este algoritmo, los clústeres de sensores se forman de forma adaptativa mediante la minimización de la varianza de kriging. El cálculo del sem…

Localización de interiores mediante radiofrecuencia: Estudio, análisis y propuestas de mejora

2019

El sistema de posicionamiento global (GPS) es el sistema más utilizado en aplicaciones de localización en exteriores, pero es ineficiente para la localización en interiores. En los últimos años, los sistemas de posicionamiento en interiores se han desarrollado ampliamente. Para ello se han utilizado varias tecnologías inalámbricas, como ZigBee, WLAN y banda ultra ancha (UWB). Los principales métodos de medición de la señal inalámbrica en los sistemas de localización en interiores son el tiempo de llegada (TOA), la diferencia de tiempo de llegada (TDOA), el ángulo de llegada (AOA) y la indicación de intensidad de señal recibida (RSSI). Los sistemas de posicionamiento TOA, TDOA y AOA requiere…

Utility-based resource allocations in multi-hop wireless networks

2011

It is well known that CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access) protocols exhibit very poor performance in case of multi-hop transmissions, because of inter-link interference due to imperfect carrier sensing. Since ad-hoc networks based on multihop packet deliveries are becoming more and more common in different application and networking scenarios, different medium access control extensions are currently considered for improving the channel utilization efficiency. In this paper, we propose a simple approach based on preallocating temporal slots in which different sets of nodes are allowed to contend for the channel access, which can significantly improve CSMA performance with limited signaling …
