We study the problem of wireless sensor network design by deploying a minimum number of additional relay nodes (to minimize network cost) at a subset of given potential relay locations, in order to convey the data from already existing…

A sensor is a small electronic device which has the ability to sense, compute and communicate either with other sensors or directly with a base station (sink). In a wireless sensor network (WSN), the sensors monitor a region and transmit…

Range-based localization is ubiquitous: global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) power mobile phone-based navigation, and autonomous mobile robots can use range measurements from a variety of modalities including sonar, radar, and even…

The Delay Constrained Relay Node Placement (DCRNP) problem in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) aims to deploy minimum relay nodes such that for each sensor node there is a path connecting this sensor node to the sink without violating delay…

In two-tiered Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) relay node placement is one of the key factors impacting the network energy consumption and the system overhead. In this paper, a novel connectivity-aware approximation algorithm for relay node…

Our work is motivated by geographical forwarding of sporadic alarm packets to a base station in a wireless sensor network (WSN), where the nodes are sleep-wake cycling periodically and asynchronously. When a node (referred to as the source)…

We study real time periodic query scheduling for data collection in multihop Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Given a set of heterogenous data collection queries in WSNs, each query requires the data from the source sensor nodes to be…

We use information theoretic achievable rate formulas for the multi-relay channel to study the problem of optimal placement of relay nodes along the straight line joining a source node and a sink node. The achievable rate formulas that we…

Usage of mobile sink(s) for data gathering in wireless sensor networks(WSNs) improves the performance of WSNs in many respects such as power consumption, lifetime, etc. In some applications, the mobile sink $MS$ travels along a predefined…

In wireless sensor networks, where energy is scarce, it is inefficient to have all nodes active because they consume a non-negligible amount of battery. In this paper we consider the problem of jointly selecting sensors, relays and links in…

Simultaneous operation of all sensors in a large-scale sensor network is power-consuming and computationally expensive. Hence, it is desirable to select fewer sensors. A greedy algorithm is widely used for sensor selection in homogeneous…

Large infrastructure networks (e.g. for transportation and power distribution) require constant monitoring for failures, congestion, and other adversarial events. However, assigning a sensor to every link in the network is often infeasible…

We have developed SmartConnect, a tool that addresses the growing need for the design and deployment of multihop wireless relay networks for connecting sensors to a control center. Given the locations of the sensors, the traffic that each…

This paper is about minimum cost constrained selection of inputs and outputs for generic arbitrary pole placement. The input-output set is constrained in the sense that the set of states that each input can influence and the set of states…

In this letter, we study the optimum selection of ground stations (GSs) in RF/optical satellite networks (SatNets) in order to minimize the overall installation cost under an outage probability requirement, assuming independent weather…

We study the problem of optimal sequential ("as-you-go") deployment of wireless relay nodes as a person walks along a line of random length (with a known distribution). The objective is to create an impromptu multihop wireless network for…

In geographical forwarding of packets in a large wireless sensor network (WSN) with sleep-wake cycling nodes, we are interested in the local decision problem faced by a node that has custody of a packet and has to choose one among a set of…

This paper considers the problem of selecting a subset of nodes in a two-hop wireless network to act as relays in aiding the communication between the source-destination pair. Optimal relay subset selection with the objective of maximizing…

In wireless sensor networks (WSNs), the base station (BS) is a critical sensor node whose failure causes severe data losses. Deploying multiple fixed BSs improves the robustness, yet requires all BSs to be installed with large batteries and…

We consider a wireless sensor network whose main function is to detect certain infrequent alarm events, and to forward alarm packets to a base station, using geographical forwarding. The nodes know their locations, and they sleep-wake…
