We propose application of Opportunistic Resource Utilization Networks (Oppnets), a novel type of Mobile Ad Hoc NETworks (MANETs), for ad hoc networking of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in surveillance missions. Oppnets provide effective resource virtualization and adaption to highly dynamic and unstable nature of MANETs. They can be viewed as middleware to facilitate building flexible and adaptive distributed systems that provide all kinds of resources or services to the requesting application via the so called helper mechanism. The simulation study focuses on the impact of an initial target position on the performance of Oppnet-based UAV surveillance systems. We find that detection success ratios and time to detect a target are negligibly affected by the initial target position in the surveillance area when UAVs expand up their Oppnet quickly, but strongly affected by the initial target position when UAVs are slow in building up their Oppnet.

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...
A simulation study of ad hoc networking of UAVs with opportunistic resource utilization networks Lilien, Leszek T.; BEN OTHMANE, Lotfi; Angın, Pelin; DECARLO, Andrew; Salih, Raed M.; BHARGAVA, Bharat (Elsevier BV, 2014-02-01) Specialized ad hoc networks of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have been playing increasingly important roles in applications for homeland defense and security. Common resource virtualization techniques are mainly designed for stable networks; they fall short in providing optimal performance in more dynamic networks such as mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs)-due to their highly dynamic and unstable nature. We propose application of Opportunistic Resource Utilization Networks (Oppnets), a novel type of MANETs, ...
Effects of selective forwarding attacks on wireless sensor network efficiency SERT, SEYİT ALPER; Yazıcı, Adnan; Coşar, Ahmet (2017-05-15) Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) facilitate efficient data gathering requirements occurring in indoor and outdoor environments. A great deal of WSNs operates by monitoring the area-of-interest (AOI) and transmitting the obtained data to a sink. The transmitted data can be utilized for object detection, object classification, instance localization, and high level semantic information extraction processes. In this regard, security of raw and relayed data is both crucial and susceptible to malicious attempts ta...
A comparison of bio-inspired and conventional routing algorithms for fixed-wing UAV FANETs ŞEKER, Burak; Koçyiğit, Altan; Ever, Enver; Department of Information Systems (2021-9) Fixed-Wing Flying Ad Hoc Networks (FW-FANETs) indicates a communication network in which the nodes are fixed-wing UAVs, or drones, which are distributed within a 3D environment. For FW-FANET applications where the network topology is very dynamic due to the mobility of nodes within a 3D environment, the selection of the routing algorithm is one of the main challenges. Among other alternatives, as a Swarm Intelligence based bio-inspired routing algorithm, AntHocNet offers a great potential to deal with the i...
Coverage in Sensor Networks When Obstacles Are Present Onur, Ertan; Delic, Hakan; Akarun, Lale (2006-01-01) In this paper, we propose a method to determine the quality of deployment in a surveillance wireless sensor network in an environment that contains obstacles. The maximum detection probability on the potential breach paths is used as the deployment quality measure. The watershed segmentation algorithm is applied on the graph formed by the iso-sensing curves to identify the possible breach paths. An algorithm is proposed to convert the watershed segmentation to an auxiliary graph which is then employed to de...
