2
What are Wireless Sensor Networks? WSN Challenges What is a Smartphone Sensor Network? Why use such a network? Applications Current Challenges Summary
3
A wireless sensor network (WSN) consists of spatially distributed autonomous sensors to monitor physical or environmental conditions, such as temperature, sound, vibration, pressure, motion or pollutants and to cooperatively pass their data through the network to a main location.
4
Power consumption constrains for nodes using batteries Ability to cope with node failures Mobility of nodes Dynamic network topology Communication failures Scalability to large scale of deployment Ability to withstand harsh environmental conditions Unattended operation
5
Challenge 1: Monitoring Mobile Human Subjects Requires a Large Quantity of Sensors Challenge 2: Sensor Distribution and Maintenance is Time-consuming and Costly
6
Challenge 3: Limited Sensor Node Computing Capabilities Require Complex Low-level Software Optimization Challenge 4: Sensor Network Data Communication Requires Complex Communication Protocols
8
Use of Smartphones for WSN ◦ Sensor capabilities ◦ Widespread usage ◦ Less energy constraints ◦ Connection to Cellular Networks/Internet ◦ Web service APIs ◦ End Users provide maintenance
9
Addressing Challenge 1 by Using End-user Smartphones to Monitor Mobile Human Populations Addressing Challenge 2 by Relying on Smartphone Owners for Sensor Hardware Maintenance
10
Addressing Challenge 3 by Leveraging Powerful Smartphone Processors and High- level Programming APIs to Simplify Sensor Software Development Further by Utilizing Web Services to Supplement Smartphone Visualization and Processing Capabilities
11
Addressing Challenge 4 by Relying on Multiple Networking Connections to Avoid Networking Complications
13
Mobile Payments Building Access Advanced-location Based Services Ticketing
14
Issue 1: Use of Web Services Restricts Flexibility Issue 2: Protecting Network Security, Privacy, and Data Integrity
15
Issue 3: Smartphones Have Responsibilities Other Than Powering the Sensor Network
16
◦ Sensor capabilities ◦ Widespread usage ◦ Less energy constraints ◦ Connection to Cellular Networks/Internet ◦ End Users provide maintenance ◦ Application possibilities
