Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are being used in numerous fields, such as battlefield surveillance, environmental monitoring and traffic control. They are typically composed of large numbers of tiny sensor nodes with limited resources. Because of their limitations and because of the environments they are being used, there are problems unique to WSNs. Due to the error-prone nature of wireless communication, especially in harsh environments, fault-tolerance emerges as an important property in WSNs. Also, because of the battery limitations, solutions to reduce energy consumption and prolong network lifetime are quite valuable. In this thesis, we propose two algorithms, namely Adaptive Disjoint Path Vector (ADPV) and Minimum Supernode Disjoint Path Vector (MSDPV), for heterogeneous WSNs. In this heterogeneous model, we have resource-rich supernodes as well as ordinary sensor nodes that are supposed to be connected to the supernodes. MSDPV algorithm considers the desired fault-tolerance degree and the positions of ordinary sensor nodes to determine optimal number of supernodes and their locations. It provides a novel optimization based on the well-known set-cover problem. ADPV is an adaptive, energy-aware and distributed fault-tolerant topology-control algorithm. Unlike the static alternative Disjoint Path Vector (DPV) algorithm, the focus of ADPV is to secure supernode connectivity in the presence of node failures, and ADPV achieves this goal by dynamically adjusting the sensor nodes' transmission powers. The ADPV algorithm involves two phases: a single initialization phase, which occurs at the beginning, and restoration phases, which are invoked each time the network's supernode connectivity is broken. Restoration phases utilize alternative routes that are computed at the initialization phase by the help of a novel optimization based on the well-known set-packing problem. Through extensive simulations, we demonstrate that ADPV is superior in preserving supernode connectivity. In particular, ADPV achieves this goal up to a failure of 95% of the sensor nodes; while the performance of DPV is limited to 5%. In turn, by our adaptive algorithm, we obtain a two-fold increase in supernode-connected lifetimes compared to DPV algorithm.

A Graph Based Big Data Model for Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks
Küçükkeçeci, Cihan; Yazıcı, Adnan (2016-10-08)
Wireless multimedia sensor networks are of interest to researchers from different disciplines and many studies have been proposed in a wide variety of application domains, such as military surveillance systems, environmental monitoring, fault monitoring and distributed smart cameras in the last decade. In a wireless sensor network, a large number of sensors can be deployed to monitor target areas and autonomously collect sensor data. This produces a large amount of raw data that needs to be stored, processe...
Fault-tolerant topology control in heterogeneous wireless sensor networks
Bağcı, Hakkı; Yazıcı, Adnan; Körpeoğlu, İbrahim; Department of Computer Engineering (2013)
Wireless sensor networks have come into prominence for monitoring and tracking operations in many application areas including environmental monitoring, battlefield surveillance, healthcare solutions, vehicle traffic monitoring, smart home systems and many other industrial applications. A long network life time and fault-tolerant operation are two essential requirements for wireless sensor network applications. In order to satisfy these requirements, heterogeneous architectures can be employed in wireless se...
An Energy - efficient and reactive remote surveillance framework using wireless multimedia sensor networks
Öztarak, Hakan; Yazıcı, Adnan; Department of Computer Engineering (2011)
With the introduction of Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks, large-scale remote outdoor surveillance applications where the majority of the cameras will be battery-operated are envisioned. These are the applications where the frequency of incidents is too low to employ permanent staffing such as monitoring of land and marine border, critical infrastructures, bridges, water supplies, etc. Given the inexpensive costs of wireless resource constrained camera sensors, the size of these networks will be signific...
A Survey on Multipath Routing Protocols for QoS Assurances in Real-Time Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks
Hasan, Mohammed Zaki; Al-Rizzo, Hussain; Al-Turjman, Fadi (2017-01-01)
The vision of wireless multimedia sensor networks (WMSNs) is to provide real-time multimedia applications using wireless sensors deployed for long-term usage. Quality of service assurances for both best effort data and real-time multimedia applications introduced new challenges in prioritizing multipath routing protocols in WMSNs. Multipath routing approaches with multiple constraints have received considerable research interest. In this paper, a comprehensive survey of both best effort data and real-time m...
Impacts of Routing Attacks on Surveillance Wireless Sensor Networks
Sert, Seyyit Alper; Yazıcı, Adnan; Coşar, Ahmet (2015-08-25)
Surveillance Wireless Sensor Networks (SWSNs) are the result of abundant data gathering requirements occurring in Wireless Sensor Networks, specifically for surveillance reasons. Most SWSNs operate by sensing the environment and transmitting the acquired data to a sink in order to utilize it for decision making processes such as object detection, classification, localization, or event detection. In this respect, secure routing of acquired data is crucial since a decision making process is performed accordin...
