Today’s security systems have been drawing great attentions as cryptographic algorithms have gained popularity due to the nature that make them suitable for use in constrained environment such as mobile sensor information applications, where computing resources and power availab…
As an attempt to steer away from developing an autonomous robot with complex centralised intelligence, this thesis proposes an intelligent environment infrastructure where intelligences are distributed in the environment through collaborative vision sensors mounted in a physical…
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have recently attracted much interest in the research community because of their wide range of applications. One emerging application for WSNs involves their use in healthcare where they are generally termed Wireless Medical Sensor Networks (WMSNs…
Saving energy and increasing network lifetime are significant challenges in the field of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Energy-aware routing protocols have been introduced for WSNs to overcome limitations of WSN including limited power resources and difficulties renewing or re…
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) allow us to instrument the physical world in novel ways, providing detailed insight that has not been possible hitherto. Since WSNs provide an interface to the physical world, each sensor node has a location in physical space, thereby enabling us …
The areas of WSNs (Wireless Sensor Networks) and Internet of Things (IoT) are considered to be the highly embryonic and most emerging arenas in research in the industrial or technical world now. This has brought about the inevitability of introducing or developing highly reliabl…
In the present generation, wireless sensor networks find their application in various fields such as, the building automation systems, body sensor networks, pollution monitoring, earthquake sensing, navigation guidance, temperature, and other variables monitoring where the human…
Recent advancement in wireless communications and electronics has enabled the development of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). WSNs are being deployed in a variety of location-aware applications, where the measurement of data is meaningless without accurate location. Many localiza…
For an engineer, it is always a difficult task to deploy a distributed wireless sensor network for buildings, without initial planning of the infrastructure of the network. A robust network is one that provides entire connectivity without compromising the signal strength. Anothe…
