Frequently Asked Questions (16)
Q2. What are the future works in "A framework for use of wireless sensor networks in forest fire detection and monitoring" ?
Local data management and data synchronization in cluster-heads, localization of the nodes via GPS or other techniques, estimation of fire ignition location with or without GPS, dynamic route determination at the cluster-head level, dynamic cluster-head selection and forest fire spread estimation at the sink are some of the topics which can be investigated in future studies.
Q3. What are the benefits of a clustered topology?
Clustered topology has benefits in terms of achieving effective control of nodes depending on changing conditions, rapid reaction to fire threat, and energy and bandwidth efficiency.
Q4. What are the benefits of clustered hierarchy?
The authors additionally conclude that clustered hierarchy has benefits in terms of data aggregation, management capability, energy efficiency and better coordination.
Q5. What can be done to reduce the load on sensor nodes closer to the sink?
cluster-heads can apply smart scheduling and adaptive transmissions to reduce the load on sensor nodes closer to the sink.
Q6. What are the two layout models that are proposed as regular deployment patterns?
As regular deployment pattern alternatives, two popular layout models are proposed: square layout and hexagonal layout (Lloret et al., 2009).
Q7. How does a cluster-head send temperature data to the sink node?
From time to time, however, the instantaneous temperature values and min/max temperature values may also be sent by a cluster-head to the sink node so that the center can generate a temperature map of the forest.
Q8. What is the effect of sending to longer distances to reach to some neighbors?
Transmitting to longer distances to reach to some neighbors may also increase the interference on other nodes and may cause an increase in the collision probability.
Q9. What is the effect of an increased distance between neighboring nodes?
an increased distance between neighboring nodes at some locations of the forest may increase the fire detection time at those locations.
Q10. What is the average deployment distance between neighboring sensor nodes?
The required maximum fire detection time (T, in seconds), the initial energy of sensor nodes (E, in Joules), and the required network lifetime (N, in seconds) are some other parameters that may affect the decision of what the average distance between neighboring sensor nodes should be.
Q11. Why is the energy consumption at a node inversely proportional to where it makes?
This is because, the energy consumption at a node is inversely proportional with at least the square of the distance to where the node makes transmissions.
Q12. What are some of the technologies and systems that are currently used towards this goal?
Some important technologies and systems that are currently used towards this goal are: systems employing charge-coupled device (CCD) cameras and infrared (IR) detectors, satellite systems and images, and wireless sensor networks.ll rights reserved.
Q13. How long does it take for a sensor to detect a fire?
The authors can observe from the figure that it takes more than 10 min for a sensor node to sense the fire threat if the distance is greater than or equal to 20 m.
Q14. What is the effect of clustering on the network?
As seen in the figure, clustering not only reduces the total volume of traffic carried in the network dramatically, but also increases the percentage of the essential traffic inside the total volume.
Q15. What is the effect of the fire detection time of the base scheme?
For a more concrete evaluation of the benefit of their scheme again compared to the base scheme, the authors use a new metric, weighted fire detection time (WT) which is weighting the fire detection time in a month with the risk-level of that month.
Q16. What is the metric used to decide about the eligible node?
the nodes exchange some parameter values among themselves (like remaining energy levels) to make a decision about the next cluster-head and use the metric defined in Eq. 2 to decide about the most eligible node for being cluster-head.
