Recent advances in wireless communication and micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) have led to the development of implementation of low-cost, low power, multifunctional sensor nodes. These sensor node are small in size and communicate untethered in short distances. The nodes in sensor networks have limited battery power and it is not feasible or possible to recharge or replace the batteries, therefore power consumption should be minimized so that overall network lifetime will be increased. In order to minimize power consumed during idle listening, some nodes, which can be considered redundant, can be put to sleep. In this thesis study, basic routing algorithms and duty cycle control algorithms for WSNs in the literature are studied. One of the duty cycle control algorithms, Role Alternating, Coverage Preserving, and Coordinated Sleep algorithm (RACP) is examined and simulated using the ns2 simulation environment. A novel duty cycle control algorithm, Sink Initiated Path Formation (SIPF) is proposed and compared to RACP in terms of sleep sensor ratio and time averaged coverage.

Delay aware reliable transport in wireless sensor networks
Gungor, Vehbi C.; Akan, Oezguer B. (Wiley, 2007-10-01)
Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are event-based systems that rely on the collective effort of several sensor nodes. Reliable event detection at the sink is based on collective information provided by the sensor nodes and not on any individual sensor data. Hence, conventional end-to-end reliability definitions and solutions are inapplicable in the WSN regime and would only lead to a waste of scarce sensor resources. Moreover, the reliability objective of WSN must be achieved within a certain real-time delay b...
Safran: a distributed and parallel application development frameworks of hetereogeneous workstations
Gölyeri, Hamza; Bozyiğit, Müslim; Department of Computer Engineering (2005)
With the rapid advances in high-speed network technologies and steady decrease in the cost of hardware involved, network of workstation (NOW) environments began to attract attention as competitors against special purpose, high performance parallel processing environments. NOWs attract attention as parallel and distributed computing environments because they provide high scalability in terms of computing capacity and they have much smaller cost/performance ratios with high availability. However, they are har...
Positioning based on tracking of signal parameters in a single base station wimax network using fingerprinting
Köksal, Murat Miran; Genç, Fethi Payidar; Department of Computer Engineering (2010)
IEEE 802.16 is a point to multipoint broadband wireless access standard, designed from ground up for fast and reliable mobile networking. Several location-related MAC layer fields specified in the standard indicate that WiMAX networks can be convenient backbones for future positioning systems. Information encapsulated in MAC headers is especially important for single base station positioning systems which require fewer network resources than multiple reference station location systems, but need more locatio...
The effects of hierarchy on mobile wireless sensor network coverage
Aslan, Ali Umut; Solak, Ercan; Department of Information Systems (2006)
Due to their economic potential and widespread application areas, wireless sensor networks have emerged as an active research topic during the last five years. One of the fundamental challenges in wireless sensor network research is the provision of sufficient coverage while maintaining energy efficiency and longevity under sensor mobility. The purpose of this thesis is to observe the coverage and energy consumption dynamics of a mobile wireless sensor network in a hierarchical architecture. To achieve this...
Fully Integrated Autonomous Interface With Maximum Power Point Tracking for Energy Harvesting TEGs With High Power Capacity
Tabrizi, Hamed Osouli; Jayaweera, Herath M. P. C.; Muhtaroglu, Ali (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2020-05-01)
In this article, a novel fully autonomous and integrated power management interface circuit is introduced for energy harvesting using thermoelectric generators (TEGs) to supply power to Internet of Thing nodes. The circuit consists of a self-starting dc & x2013;dc converter based on a dual-phase charge pump with LC-tank oscillator, a digital MPPT unit, and a 1-V LDO regulator. The novel maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm avoids open-circuit state, and accommodates varying input power and ultra-lo...
