TLDR
This work reviews the key elements of the emergent technology of “Smart Dust” and outlines the research challenges they present to the mobile networking and systems community, which must provide coherent connectivity to large numbers of mobile network nodes co-located within a small volume.Abstract:
Large-scale networks of wireless sensors are becoming an active topic of research. Advances in hardware technology and engineering design have led to dramatic reductions in size, power consumption and cost for digital circuitry, wireless communications and Micro ElectroMechanical Systems (MEMS). This has enabled very compact, autonomous and mobile nodes, each containing one or more sensors, computation and communication capabilities, and a power supply. The missing ingredient is the networking and applications layers needed to harness this revolutionary capability into a complete system. We review the key elements of the emergent technology of “Smart Dust” and outline the research challenges they present to the mobile networking and systems community, which must provide coherent connectivity to large numbers of mobile network nodes co-located within a small volume.read more

Sink placement on a 3D terrain for border surveillance in wireless sensor networks
Rabun Kosar,Cem Ersoy +1 more
TL;DR: A genetic algorithm which uses a discrete event simulator-in-the-loop over a three dimensional terrain to find locations for the sink that fits the given quality and safety restrictions and the results obtained indicate that the proposed algorithm can find locations that increase the lifetime by also considering the sensingquality and safety.

The DARPA packet radio network protocols
J. Jubin,J.D. Tornow +1 more
TL;DR: The algorithms are described and illustrated how the PRNET provides highly reliable network transport and datagram service, by dynamically determining optimal routes, effectively controlling congestion, and fairly allocating the channel in the face of changing link conditions, mobility, and varying traffic loads.
