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

Performance evaluation of efficient and reliable routing protocols for fixed-power sensor networks
Peter K. K. Loh,Yi Pan,Hsu Jing +2 more
TL;DR: Simulation experiments of EAR with four existing protocols demonstrate that a design based on a combination of routing parameters exhibits collectively better performance than protocols based on just hop-count and energy or those using flooding.

An Implementation of Indoor Location Detection Systems Based on Identifying Codes
TL;DR: This work presents experimental evidence that the design, implementation and evaluation of a location detection system built over a Radio Frequency network based on the IEEE 802.11 standard is practical and useful, and that it can achieve good accuracy even with a very small number of beacons.

Maximising α-lifetime for wireless sensor networks
Honghai Zhang,Jennifer C. Hou +1 more
TL;DR: This paper designs, based on the derived upper bound, an algorithm that sub-optimally schedules node activities to maximise the α-lifetime of a sensor network and carries out simulations to validate the derived results and evaluate the designed algorithm.

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.

The Diamond Age
TL;DR: The Diamond Age as discussed by the authors is a major novel from one of the most visionary writers of our time, with a protagonist who breaks the rigorous moral code of his tribe, the powerful Neo-Victorians, by making an illicit copy of a state-of-the-art interactive device called a young lady's illustrated primer.
