Miniature wireless photoplethysmography devices: integration in garments and test measurements
2012
Wireless PPG devices were developed and embedded in everyday clothes (bandage, scarf, cycling glove and wrist strap) to monitor cardiovascular state of free-moving persons. The corresponding software for measurements also has been developed and tested in laboratory. Real-time measurements of PPG signals were taken in parallel with a professional ECG reference device, and high correlation was demonstrated.
Ambulatory Treatment and Telemonitoring of Patients with Parkinson’s Disease
2011
Body sensor networks (BSN) promise to enhance quality of life in common human habitats. The very next and natural step towards the improvement of the already valuable applications based on BSN is the incorporation of body actuator devices which adapt its actuation dynamically based on the information provided by the body sensors, thus forming Body Sensor and actuator Networks (BS&AN). This paper shows how BS&AN can be exploited to create an innovative system to support the treatment of patients affected by Parkinson’s Disease (PD). The combination of clinical and technological knowledge in BS&AN allows to significantly improve the quality of life of patients suffering from PD.

Hydrogeologinen WSN-ympäristömonitorointi : tapaustutkimus Kaitforsin patoalueen pohjavesien korkeusseurannan pilottijärjestelmästä
2017
Tämän pro gradu -tutkielman tavoitteena on selvittää Kaitforsin patoalueelle toteutetun pohjavesien monitorointiin Kokkolan yliopistokeskus Chydeniuksessa kehitetyn pilottijärjestelmän näkökulmasta, millaisin menetelmin vedenkorkeuksien ja veden laadun monitorointia voidaan IoT:n ja langattomien sensoriverkkojen asettamista lähtökohdista automatisoidusti suorittaa. Tämän lisäksi tutkimuksen tavoitteena on selvittää automatisoidun ympäristömonitoroinnin nykytilaa ja siihen kytkeytyviä kehityssuuntauksia. Tutkimuksessa perehdytään myös Kaitforsin patoalueelle asennetun pilottijärjestelmän IEEE 802.15.4 -standardiin perustuvaan langattoman sensoriverkon toimintaan ja siihen kytkeytyneiden sens…
An Analysis of the Flow-Based Fast Handover Method For Mobile IPv6 Network
2006
Mobile IPv6 has been proposed by the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) to be the solution to mobility management in IPv6 network. The work is now culminating to a standard status. But, one problem still remaining is the length of the handover time, which might cause packet loss. Thus the handover time should be as short as possible. Especially the real-time traffic suffers from packet loss. Earlier we have introduced a new method for faster handover process in Mobile IPv6 network called the Flow-based Fast Handover Method for Mobile IPv6 (FFHMIPv6). FFHMIPv6 uses the flow state information stored in the routers for the fast redirection of the flow. In this paper we compare the proposed…
On the evaluation of an optical OFDM radio over FSO system with IM-DD for high-speed indoor communications
2017
En aquest article es proposa un nou sistema híbrid de ràdio sobre fibra (RoF) i òptica d’espai lliure (FSO) basat en la transmissió de senyals òptics OFDM (OOFDM) per proporcionar enllaços de comunicació sense fils òptics d’alta capacitat. Es proposa un esquema de transmissió de baix cost basat en IM-DD per simplificar i reutilitzar la infraestructura existent per desplegar un enllaç FSO d’alt ample de banda. Aquest article mostra els resultats experimentals basats en la implementació de l'esquema proposat sota una transmissió digital OOFDM de 16 QAM a través de 10 km de fibra monomode (SMF) i enllaç FSO de 300 mm. Els resultats mostren la viabilitat de desplegar un sistema de comunicació d…
Wireless Strain Gauge Network : Best-Hall Measurement Case
2014
Wireless sensor networks can be used to perform structural monitoring. Strain gauges, which can be glued on or integrated to the observed material, are the most common nondestructive sensing elements for measuring surface strain. Wireless strain gauge measurement system makes strain measurements more flexible while opening new targets of application in addition to those that traditional wired strain measuring systems can offer. We have implemented a long term strain measurement in a PVC-covered hall using wireless sensor network. In this paper we evaluate the functionality and suitability of the developed wireless system for this kind of monitoring. The paper discusses the experiences gaine…
Adaptive range-based localization algorithm based on trilateration and reference node selection for outdoor wireless sensor networks
2022
Locating the nodes of outdoor wireless sensor networks (WSNs) using (tri)lateration with a low-cost ranging technique, such as the received signal strength indicator (RSSI), often results in inaccurate location estimates. This can mostly be explained by the combined effect of distance estimate errors and localization geometry, both of which are subject to the reference nodes used. To develop techniques for reducing localization error, the distance estimate errors and localization geometry must be analyzed and taken into account. To address these challenges, this paper aims to seek ways to improve the quality of range-based trilateration localization for WSN nodes in varying outdoor conditio…
