We have considered a 4x4 square grid wireless sensor network, where sinks and sensor nodes both are static. Locations of the sinks are deterministically placed. Locations of our sinks are taken from our deterministic sensor node deployment approach for 4x4 square grid region, where the network is 1-hop and 2-covered. Sinks are placed deterministically on grid cross points. But the sensor node deployment strategy is set to random here. Locations of sensor…
To prevent the energy consumption of the computational resource such as bandwidth, processor time, battery, a reliable sensor network needs to be developed. This is due to the ener-gy consumption of all nodes during the processing time. The main contributions of this paper are as…

This book provides generic approach architecture for the implementation of the wireless sensor networks. It proposes for a move into the routing protocols and improvement of networks through routing optimization, medium access and control of power while at the same time fulfilling the daily goals. It emphasizes on the importance to node information in the many wireless sensor network applications as well as the communication protocol. This solution can be applicable in the case of NHS since the use of wireless sensor networks can greatly help in transferring large data files, including the imaging files to…
A network redundant topology where nodes are connected using two concentric rings with four branches.…
The identity of the unknown substance two was determined by three tests: solubility, thin chromatography, and the melting point. The following data was concluded based on solubility in water, isopropanol, and methanol: Aspirin was insoluble in both water and isopropanol and soluble in methanol. The unknown substance was insoluble for both water and isopropanol and soluble in methanol. In contrast, Acetaminophen was soluble in all three solutions and Diphenhydramine was soluble in water and methanol, but not isopropanol. Following the thin chromatography test, the Rf was found to be 0.64 cm.…
The topology that should be used in this network is an extended star topology because it is a bit more advanced than the regular star topology. Instead of connecting all devices to a central unit, sub-central devices are added in. This allows more functionality for organization. The Extended Star Topology is all but necessary to prevent degraded signals and it is also better for bigger networks.…
Wireless communication has become an important feature for commercial products and a popular research topic within the last ten years. There are now more mobile phone subscriptions than wired-line subscriptions. Lately, one area of commercial interest has been low-cost, low-power, and short-distance wireless communication used for \personal wireless networks." Technology advancements are providing smaller and more cost effective devices for integrating computational processing, wireless communication, and a host of other functionalities. These embedded communications devices will be integrated into applications ranging from homeland security to industry automation and monitoring. They will also enable custom tailored engineering solutions, creating a revolutionary way of disseminating and processing information. With new technologies and devices come new business activities, and the need for employees in these technological areas. Engineers who have knowledge of embedded systems and wireless communications will be in high demand. Unfortunately, there are few adorable environments available for development and classroom use, so students…
Doing what’s right and honest almost always brings a temporary setback and the rewards for doing so often take time to emerge. This is the story of Edgar P Benchley’s life. Edgar, the owner of Tortoise Enterprises is a man cursed with responsibility, that of which is not often valued by the world. Edgar may or may not have turned out as a respectable man if it hadn’t been for his Pooka Ari. Pooka are mythical creatures not everyone can see. Edgars Pooka, a very large rabbit, was on a mission to make sure he was honest, no matter what.…
Hello all, when it comes to designing a wireless network there are four steps to follow the first is the correct deployment scenario like Ad hoc or peer-to-peer, infrastructure, point-to-point and point-to-multipoint remote wireless bridge, Ethernet to wireless bridge, and wireless gate. However, infrastructure is the most commonly used with an access point connected to a wired infrastructure.…
Designing secure key distribution in an ad-hoc network might be an extremely hard task. Any reliance on a certificate of authority is not trivial at all, for the same reasons that reliance in any centralized authority is problematic. Additional problems include the increased packet sizes required by authentication extensions, unicast/multicast routing, Quality of Service support and power aware routing. Furthermore, due to the limited transmission range of wireless network interfaces, multiple hops may be needed to exchange data between nodes in the network (c.f.…
The first four topologies that will be discussed are the point to point, the star, the bus, and the mesh. A point to point topology is known as the simplest topology because of its permanent link between two end points. Star topology each network host is connected to a central hub with a point-to-point connection to a central node which is called a hub or switch. Bus topology each computer is connected to a single Bus cable, which then sends a signal which travels in both directions from the source to all machines connected on the Bus cable, until it finds the intended recipient. If the machine address for some reason does not match the intended address for the data, then the machine ignores that machine address. However, if the data matches it is accepted. The bad part of this topology is that it has a single point of failure which is the cable and if this happens the whole network can shut down. Mesh-is a fully connected network in which each node is connected to each other. A fully connected network does not need to use switching or broadcasting. However its major disadvantage is that the…
The business IT network infrastructure must be upgraded to accommodate the current and future growth of the company. The initial company network infrastructure design presented in Exhibit 1 provides a visual of the network design that included 10 workstations connected to a single stackable switch. This first network design employed a flat network topology, with workstations and servers configured in a peer to peer configuration that used a single ADSL line for Internet access. Fortunately the stackable network switch design is scalable and has enabled the network infrastructure to grow with the company while minimizing end user impact while changes were implemented. Exhibit 2 depicts the current business network infrastructure configuration which supports 100 employees and supporting services including Active Directory, DNS, DHCP, and file sharing for single sign-on convenience, security and simplified network management.…
"Network addresses should be carefully planned managed and documented (Oppenheimer, p. 168)". All of the address names should make sense and should be easily understood. As Oppenhiemer states, I would begin planning by designing a model. Design the model without assigning any addresses (p.168). Once the model is designed, the network engineer will begin to assign blocks of addresses in a hierarchical fashion to allow scalability, and an easy level of understanding. Also important is developing policies and procedures for addressing and naming. This would involve plans for distributing authority for addressing and naming to avoid one department having to manage all addresses and names.…
Autonomy. Today batteries represent the dominant energy source for many devices and alike. In spite of the fact that energy density of batteries has increased by a factor of 3 over the past 15 years, in many cases their presence has a large impact, or even dominate, size and operational cost. For this reason alternative solutions to batteries are the subjects of worldwide extended investigations. One possibility is to replace them with energy storage systems featuring larger energy density, e.g., miniaturized fuel cells. A second possibility consists in providing the energy necessary to the device in a wireless mode; this solution, already used for RFID tag, can be extended to more power hungry devices, but it requires dedicated transmission infrastructures. A third possibility is harvesting energy from the ambient by using for example, vibration/ energy, thermal energy, light or RF radiation. For each type of sources, different ambient situation are considered. They correspond to various level of available power, and hence of generated electrical power. Wireless sensor networks are made of large numbers of small, low-cost sensor nodes working in collaboration to collect data and transmit them to a base station via a wireless network. They are finding…
