Simple Wireless Sensor Networking Solutions
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have witnessed a tremendous upsurge in
recent years in both industry as well as academia. This is mainly
attributed to the unprecedented opportunities they offer. However, WSNs
also face significant design challenges, including their limited
computing abilities and their dependence on finite battery energy. A
major obstacle to the ubiquitous deployment of WSNs is the absence of
reliable and easy-to-implement communication stacks. The main design
criteria are thus to lower algorithmic complexity to facilitate
low-power solutions that can be embedded into low-cost microprocessors,
and to extend the lifetime of the network without jeopardizing reliable
and efficient communications from sensor nodes to other nodes as well as
to data sinks. Such stringent design requirements can be met by a
plethora of approaches, e.g., using cross-layer design paradigms,
distributed signal processing algorithms, energy-efficient medium access
control, fault-tolerant routing protocols, self-organizing and
self-healing sensor network mechanisms and reliable data aggregation
algorithms, among others. Viable solutions will impact both commercial
activities as well as standardization approaches, including IEEE
802.15.4, IETF ROLL, Wireless HART and WOSA. In light of the above, the
main purpose of this special issue is twofold:
* to promote novel approaches in analyzing, designing and optimizing
large-scale energy and complexity constrained WSNs, and
* to expose novel, readily deployable protocol solutions that are of low
complexity and hence facilitate very cheap network deployment and
maintenance, with the ultimate goal of obtaining a useful and
practically viable wireless sensor networking solution.
Topics of Interest:
The topics relevant to this special issue include but are not limited to:
- performance bounds (link and network capacity, with and without
imperfections, etc.)
- data centric approaches (data fusion, aggregation, source coding,
signal processing, etc.)
- protocol centric approaches (novel PHY, MAC and networking paradigms,
etc.)
- cross-layer and cross-functionality designs (joint source/channel
coding, etc.)
- cooperative and distributed algorithms (cooperative PHY, distributed
signal processing, etc.)
- key functionalities (security, localization, self-*, synch.,
abstraction, ease of programming, etc.)
- interdisciplinary approaches (principles borrowed from physics, etc.)
Papers must be tailored to the problems of WSNs and explicitly consider
complexity and energy constraints. The editors maintain the right to
reject papers they deem to be out of scope of this special issue. Only
originally unpublished contributions and invited articles will be
considered for the issue. The papers should be formatted according to
the IEEE-JSAC guidelines
(http://www.jsac.ucsd.edu/Guidelines/info.html). Authors should submit a
PDF version of their complete manuscript via EDAS
(http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=7029&) according to the timetable below.
