The explosion of wireless devices has given rise to numerous data-sharing applications in smart-cities' Pervasive Sensing (PS) paradigms. This vision has been further expanded in the Internet of Things (IoT) era to embrace multipurpose resources within a smart city setup such as public sensors on roads/vehicles, cameras, RFID tags, and readers. The realization of such a prophecy is significantly challenged in terms of connectivity disruption, resource management, and data gathering under mobile conditions. In this paper, we present a hybrid pervasive sensing framework for data gathering in IoT-enabled smart-cities' paradigm. This framework satisfies service-oriented applications in smart cities where data is provided via data access points (APs) of various resources. Moreover, public vehicles are used in this work as Data Couriers (DCs) that read these APs data packets and relay it back to a base-station in the city. Accordingly, we propose a hybrid fitness function for a genetic-based DCs selection approach. Our function considers resource limitations in terms of count, storage capacity and energy consumption as well as the targeted application characteristics. Extensive simulations are performed and the effectiveness of the proposed approach has been confirmed against other heuristic approaches with respect to total travelled distances and overall data-delivery cost.

Readers Scheduling for RFID Networks in the IoT Era Campioni, Fabio; Choudhury, Salimur; Al-Turjman, Fadi (2018-05-24) As a potential way to dramatically save energy and live in a green planet, the Internet of Things (IoT) aims to utilize energy-efficient enabling technologies such as the RFID systems in our daily life applications. In this paper, we consider RFID reader scheduling problem which is NP hard. We propose a localized reader scheduling algorithms for RFID networks. We consider readers with limited amounts of energy, powered by a battery. Using only local information, the readers schedule themselves to minimize e...
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...
Fuzzy Semantic Web Architecture for Activity Detection in Wireless Multimedia Sensor Network Applications Ozdin, Ali Nail; Yazıcı, Adnan; KOYUNCU, Murat (2019-01-01) This study aims to increase the reliability of activity detection in Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks (WMSNs) by using Semantic Web technologies extended with fuzzy logic. The proposed approach consists of three layers: the sensor layer, the data layer, and the Semantic Web layer. The sensor layer comprises a WMSN comprising sensor nodes with multimedia and scalar sensors. The data layer retrieves and stores data from the sink of WMSN. At the top of the architecture, there is a semantic web layer that in...
Cognitive Radio Sensor Networks Akan, Ozgur B.; Karli, Osman B.; Ergul, Ozgur (2009-07-01) Dynamic spectrum access stands as a promising and spectrum-efficient communication ion approach for resource-constrained multihop wireless sensor networks due to their event-driven communication nature, which generally yields bursty traffic depending on the event characteristics. In addition, opportunistic spectrum access may also help realize the deployment of multiple overlaid sensor networks, and eliminate collision and excessive contention delay incurred by dense node deployment. Incorporating cognitive...
Static range assignment in wireless sensor networks Uzun, Erkay; Yazıcı, Adnan; Department of Computer Engineering (2010) Energy is a limited source in wireless sensor networks and in most applications, it is non-renewable; so designing energy-effcient communication patterns is very important. In this thesis, we deﬁne the static range assignment (SRA) problem for wireless sensor networks, which focuses on providing the required connectivity in the network with minimum energy consumption. We propose minimum spanning tree based (MST), pruned minimum spanning tree based (MSTP) and shortest path incremental (SPI) algorithms as eff...
