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

Efficient broadcast for wireless ad hoc networks with a realistic physical layer
Hui Xu,J.J. Garcia-Luna-Aceves +1 more
TL;DR: An analytical model is presented to show that the transmission radii used for nodes can be used to establish a tradeoff between minimizing energy consumption and ensuring network coverage, and a mechanism called redundant radius is proposed to form a buffer zone that guarantees the availability of logical links in the physical network.
Journal ArticleDOI
An autonomic routing framework for sensor networks
TL;DR: An autonomic framework to promote the adaptivity of routing services in sensor networks is proposed to maintain some feature functions that are decoupled from originally-integrated routing services.
