A decade ago as wireless sensor network research took off many
 
researchers in the field denounced the use of IP as inadequate and
 
in contradiction to the needs of wireless sensor networking. Since
 
then the field has matured, standard links have emerged, and IP
 
has evolved. In this paper, we present the design of a complete
 
IPv6-based network architecture for wireless sensor networks. We
 
validate the architecture with a production-quality implementation
 
that incorporates many techniques pioneered in the sensor network
 
community, including duty-cycled link protocols, header compression,
 
hop-by-hop forwarding, and efficient routing with effective
 
link estimation. In addition to providing interoperability with existing
 
IP devices, this implementation was able to achieve an average
 
duty-cycle of 0.65%, average per-hop latency of 62ms, and a data
 
reception rate of 99.98% over a period of 4 weeks in a real-world
 
home-monitoring application where each node generates one application
 
packet per minute. Our results outperform existing systems
 
that do not adhere to any particular standard or architecture. In light
 
of this demonstration of full IPv6 capability, we review the central
 
arguments that led the field away from IP. We believe that the presence
 
of an architecture, specifically an IPv6-based one, provides a
 
strong foundation for wireless sensor networks going forward.

This seminar examines fundamental and emerging concepts in concurrency and distribution by studying seminal papers and recent research results. Broad topics of interest include models of concurrency, mobile computing, parallel architectures, sensor networks, distributed algorithms, and specialized protocols. Each semester, the seminar emphasizes different themes reflecting the current research interests of the participants.

The theme of this semester's seminar is Wireless Sensor Networks. We will read and discuss papers from recent major conferences on mobile, wireless, and sensor networks and systems. These conferences include:

When choosing a paper to present, you may look through the conferences mentioned above, or view the list of potential papers.

A Measurement Study of Interference Modeling and Scheduling in Low Power Wireless Networks. Ritesh Maheshwari (Stony Brook University, US); Shweta Jain (Staccato Communications, US); Samir Das (Stony Brook University, US). SenSys'08.

Abstract:

Accurate interference models are important for use in transmission scheduling algorithms in wireless networks. In this work, we perform extensive modeling and experimentation on two 20-node TelosB motes testbeds { one indoor and the otheroutdoor { to compare a suite of interference models for their modeling accuracies. We ¯rst empirically build and validate the physical interference model via a packet reception rate vs. SINR relationship using a measurement driven method. We then similarly instantiate other simpler models,such as hop-based, range-based, prot- ocol model,etc. The modeling accuracies are then evaluated on the two testbeds using transmission scheduling exper- iments. We observe that while the physicalinterference model is the most accurate, it is still far from perfect, providing a 90-percentile error about 20-25% (and 80 percentile error 7-12%),depending on the scenario. The accura- cy of the other models is worse and scenario-speci¯c. The second best model trails the physical model by roughly 12-18 percentile points for similar accuracy targets. Somewhat similar throughput performance di®erential between models is also observed when used with greedy scheduling algorithms. Carrying on further, we look closely into the the two incarnations of the physical model {`thresholded'(conservative, but typically considered in literature) and `graded' (more realistic). We show via solving the one shot scheduling problem, that the graded version can improve `expected throughput' over the thresholded version by scheduling imperfect links.
