Improvements in technology result in evolution of smart devices. One of such smart devices is wireless sensor nodes, which consist of a sensing board, a battery supply and a wireless antenna to transfer data. We can collect information from the environment by deploying thousands of these tiny smart devices. These devices can also be used to monitor natural habitats or used in giant machine parts for performance evolution. Energy efficient operation is an important issue for wireless sensor network design and clustering is one of the most widely used approaches for energy efficiency. This thesis study aims to analyze the performance of clustering algorithms for wireless sensor networks. We proposed five clustering algorithms and perform experiments by using real sensor hardware over different topologies to investigate energy efficiency of the clustering algorithms.

Optimal transmission scheduling for energy harvesting systems and implementation of energy efficient scheduling algorithms on software defined radio / Uçtu, Göksel; Uysal Bıyıkoğlu, Elif; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2014) Recently, improving energy efficiency in the rapidly evolving technology field of wireless communications has become an important need. To improve the ease of use, extend the field of application of wireless communications, and sustain the applications that use the technology for longer durations with less energy expenditure, study of energy harvesting systems has gained momentum. In this thesis, an offline scheduling problem in an energy harvesting system has been solved and three scheduling alorithms have...
Energy-Aware Data Delivery Framework for Safety-Oriented Mobile IoT Al-Turjman, Fadi (2018-01-01) The proliferation of wireless multimedia sensor networks has given rise to intelligent transportation systems as a mobile data-sharing model. This vision can be extended under the umbrella of the mobile Internet of Things to include versatile resources, such as smartphones, radio frequency identification tags, and sensors on roads that can be utilized in emergency situations. The facilitation of such a vision faces key challenges in terms of interoperability, resource management and energy consumption. In t...
An Overview of Internet of Things and Wireless Communications ULUŞAR, ÜMİT DENİZ; Al-Turjman, Fadi; Celik, Gurkan (2017-10-08) Innovations in technology that have enabled efficient wireless tiny devices propelled the concept of Internet of Things. It is expected that mobile data traffic will experience 8-fold growth between 2015 and 2020 and the number of mobile connected devices will reach 11.6 billion by 2020. Main factors of this exponential growth and wide acceptance are the integration of several technologies and communications solutions such as wired and wireless sensor and actuator networks, next generation communication pro...

Routing and security in wireless sensor networks, an experimental evaluation of a proposed trust based routing protocol Chalabianloo, Niaz; İşler, Veysi; Department of Computer Engineering (2013) Satisfactory results obtained from sensor networks and the ongoing development in electronics and wireless communications have led to an impressive boost in the number of applications based on WSNs. Along with the growth in popularity of WSNs, previously implemented solutions need further improvements and new challenges arise which need to be solved. One of the main concerns regarding WSNs is the existence of security threats against their routing operations. Likelihood of security attacks in a structure su...
