Recently, it has come to be generally believed by academia and industry alike that the sensor network will have a key role to extend the reachability of the next generation Internet. A key characteristic of this network is that there is no single node in the network that is powerful enough to perform the assigned tasks. An application should be served via the cooperation of several nodes or even the entire network. The network serves as an information base, and is data driven, as opposed to a provider for the point-to-point connection. The main challenge of this network is huge information organization, including information storage, searching and retrieval, especially in a continuous way. There are many specific and interrelated problems. We list a few examples. First, data accuracy: the correctness of the sensor network to represent the properties of the sensor field. Second, data search and retrieval delay; while low delay is always preferred, various applications have different delay constraints. Third, overhead; low transmission overhead is often the main consideration in system design, as it is directly related to the usage of energy, the most severely limited resource for sensors. In this thesis, we first discuss load balanced sensor coverage, which provides a lower layer support for long run sensor data collection. We then concentrate on how to balance the parameters in data collection of the sensor networks, so that the user queries and applications can be satisfied with reasonable delay and low overhead. Based on different application specifics, we try to use a smaller number of sensors, less number of transmissions by exploring historical and topological information, coding techniques and data distribution information. Our analysis and experimental results show that our architecture and algorithms provide both theoretical and practical insights for sensor network design and deployment.

Several challenges exist in Wireless Body Sensor Networks such as the data collection and fusion especially that (1) wireless sensor nodes have limited energy, processing and memory resources, (2) the amount of periodically gathered data is huge, (3) the gathered data are characterized by a heterogeneous nature and (4) the data interpretation to ensure decision-support is influenced byseveral external factors such as the provided context information of the monitored person.In this thesis, the aforementioned challenges were tackled by proposing scientific aproaches. Firstly, an energy-efficient data collection technique is proposed. This technique targets the energy consumed by biosensor nodes for sensing and transmitting vital signs. It consists of a real-timesampling rate adaptation mechanism and a local detection system which are provided at the level of the nodes. Second, in order to perform a health assessment based on the collected data, a multisensor data fusion model is proposed. In this approach, the coordinator of the network performs anassessment of the patient's health condition based on the collected measurements of his/her vital signs. Such data is interpreted in a human-reasoning way and are characterized by ambiguity and imprecision. Thus, we propose to use a Fuzzy Inference System. Then, given that vital signs are highly correlated to the context of the monitored person, a context-aware multi-sensor data fusionmodel for health assessment is proposed. The person's context include his/her physical activity status, medical record and personal information. This information highly influences the interpretation of vital signs. Hesitant fuzzy sets are used to subjectively evaluate the intensity of the person's physical activities based on his/her personal information and the activity's characteristics. Finally, a specific healthcare monitoring application is targeted. A real-time stress detection and evaluation framework is proposed while taking into consideration the energy consumption constraint. Shimmer 3 GSR+ is used as a wireless sensor node to sense the Photoplethysmogram (PPG) signal and the skin conductance. An android mobile application is developed to extract from the PPG signal stress correlated vital signs such as the heart rate, the respiration rate and the blood pressure.

Recent years have witnessed tremendous growth in the population of mobile users demanding high performance, reliability and quality-of-service (QoS). Wireless networks are undergoing rapid developments and dramatic changes in the underlying technologies, in order to cope with the difficulties posed by the scarce wireless resource as well as keep up with the increasing day-to-day demand for cost-effective service of multimedia applications. Predicting and optimising the performance and QoS of wireless networks using analytical modelling, simulation experiments, monitoring and testbed-based measurements are crucial to the proper design, tuning, resource management and capacity planning of such networks. This book is dedicated to review important developments and results, explore recent state-of-the-art research and discuss new strategies for performance modelling, analysis and enhancement of wireless networks. The objective is to make analytical modelling, simulation and measurement tools, and innovative performance evaluation methodology possible and understandable to a wider audience.

Over the past decade, there has been a prolific increase in the research, development and commercialisation of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) and their associated technologies. WSNs have found application in a vast range of different domains, scenarios and disciplines. These have included healthcare, defence and security, environmental monitoring and building/structural health monitoring. However, as a result of the broad array of pertinent applications, WSN researchers have also realised the application specificity of the domain; it is incredibly difficult, if not impossible, to find an application-independent solution to most WSN problems. Hence, research into WSNs dictates the adoption of an application-centric design process. This book is not intended to be a comprehensive review of all WSN applications and deployments to date. Instead, it is a collection of state-of-the-art research papers discussing current applications and deployment experiences, but also the communication and data processing technologies that are fundamental in further developing solutions to applications. Whilst a common foundation is retained through all chapters, this book contains a broad array of often differing interpretations, configurations and limitations of WSNs, and this highlights the diversity of this ever-changing research area. The chapters have been categorised into three distinct sections: applications and case studies, communication and networking, and information and data processing. The readership of this book is intended to be postgraduate/postdoctoral researchers and professional engineers, though some of the chapters may be of relevance to interested masters level students.

During the last one and a half decades, wireless sensor networks have witnessed significant growth and tremendous development in both academia and industry. A large number of researchers, including computer scientists and engineers, have been interested in solving challenging problems that span all the layers of the protocol stack of sensor networking systems. Several venues, such as journals, conferences, and workshops, have been launched to cover innovative research and practice in this promising and rapidly advancing field. Because of these trends, I thought it would be beneficial to provide our sensor networks community with a comprehensive reference on as much of the findings as possible on a variety of topics in wireless sensor networks. As this area of research is in continuous progress, it does not seem to be a reasonable solution to keep delaying the publication of such reference any more. This book relates to the second volume and focuses on the advanced topics and applications of wireless sensor networks. Our rationale is that the second volume has all application-specific and non-conventional sensor networks, emerging techniques and advanced topics that are not as matured as what is covered in the first volume. Thus, the second volume deals with three-dimensional, underground, underwater, body-mounted, and societal networks. Following Donald E. Knuth’s above-quoted elegant strategy to focus on several important fields (The Art of Computer Programming: Fundamental Algorithms, 1997), all the book chapters in this volume include up-to-date research work spanning various topics, such as stochastic modeling, barrier and spatiotemporal coverage, tracking, estimation, counting, coverage and localization in three-dimensional sensor networks, topology control and routing in three-dimensional sensor networks, underground and underwater sensor networks, multimedia and body sensor networks, and social sensing. Most of these major topics can be covered in an advanced course on wireless sensor networks. This book will be an excellent source of information for graduate students majoring in computer science, computer engineering, electrical engineering, or any related discipline. Furthermore, computer scientists, researchers, and practitioners in both academia and industry will find this book useful and interesting.

Wireless Sensor Network Technologies for Information Explosion Era The amount and value of information available due to rapid spread of information technology is exploding. Typically, large enterprises have approximately a petabyte of operational data stored in hundreds of data repositories supporting thousands of applications. Data storage volumes grow in excess of 50% annually. This growth is expected to continue due to vast proliferation of existing infor- tion systems and the introduction of new data sources. Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) represent one of the most notable examples of such new data sources. In recent few years, various types of WSNs have been deployed and the amount of information generated by wireless sensors increases rapidly. The information - plosion requires establishing novel data processing and communication techniques for WSNs. This volume aims to cover both theoretical and practical aspects - lated to this challenge, and it explores directions for future research to enable ef- cient utilization of WSNs in the information-explosion era. The book is organized in three main parts that consider (1) technical issues of WSNs, (2) the integration of multiple WSNs, and (3) the development of WSNs systems and testbeds for conducting practical experiments. Each part consists of three chapters.
