Chapter 4.1 Wireless Sensor Networks Dr. Du dxj2005@ Chap. 4.1 - Dr. Du * Sensor Networks – Why ? Monitoring activities – A basic need How many people cross Green St. every day? How much poisonous gas in the atmosphere? How many enemy tanks crossed through the jungle? Human monitoring possible/feasible ? Not always Automated smart monitoring required Network small computing elements to achieve this Chap. 4.1 - Dr. Du * Sensor Networks Left figure shows the smart mote MICA2-DOT sensors manufactured by Crossbow Technology Inc. The top right is a quarter used to show the sensor size. These tiny sensor nodes, which consist of sensing, data processing, and communicating components, leverage the idea of sensor networks. For example, a MICA2-DOT sensor has a CPU processor, a transmitter and receiver (transceiver) for wireless communications, 512 K bytes of program and data memory, and a battery, and can be installed with several kinds of sensors, such as light, temperature, moisture, acceleration, magnetic, acoustic, and video sensors. Chap. 4.1 - Dr. Du * Sensor Networks Wireless sensor networks have many application areas such as military surveillance, target tracking, and agricultural monitoring. In sensor networks, a source is defined as a sensor node detecting an event and generating data to report the conditions of the environment; a sink (base station) is usually a computer (laptop) that collects data from the sensor nodes. For a large sensor network, multi-hop wireless transmission is typically used to send data from sensor nodes to the base station, since each sensor only has a short transmission range. Chap. 4.1 - Dr. Du * AdHoc and Sensors … Ad Hoc network lacking killer applications Difficult to force co-operation among HUMAN users Mobility/connectivity unreliable for a business model Difficult to bootstrap – critical mass required Sensor networks more realizable More defined applications Single owner/administration – easier to implement Sensi
