Cerqueira Afonso Alves, Renan (author), Borges Margi, Cintia (author), Kuipers, F.A. (author)The Internet of Things (IoT) has and will continue to permeate many aspects of everyday life. However, IoT de- vices often use wireless communication to transfer their data, which may experience ambient noise and multipath fading. This, together with the wide heterogeneity in types of devices, leads to the emergence of unidirectional links in...conference paper 2019

Liu, Qingzhi (author), Ozcelebi, Tanir (author), Cheng, Long (author), Kuipers, F.A. (author), Lukkien, Johan (author)Software-defined networking (SDN) is a cornerstone of next-generation networks and has already led to numerous advantages for data-center networks and wide-area networks, for instance in terms of reduced management complexity and more fine-grained traffic engineering. However, the design and implementation of SDN within wireless sensor networks ...conference paper 2019

Schormans, Matthew (author), Valente, V. (author), Demosthenous, Andreas (author)Wireless sensing systems are becoming popular in a range of applications, particularly in the case of biomedical circuits and food monitoring systems. A typical wireless sensing system, however, may require considerable complexity to perform the necessary analog to digital conversion and subsequent wireless transmission. Alternatively, in the...journal article 2018

Arroyo Valles, M.D.R. (author), Simonetto, A. (author), Leus, G.J.T. (author)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 a wireless sensor network where the active sensors need to communicate their measurements to one or...journal article 2017

Mitici, M.A. (author), Goseling, Jasper (author), van Ommeren, Jan Kees (author), de Graaf, Maurits (author), Boucherie, Richard J. (author)We present a tandem network of queues 0 , ⋯ , s- 1. Customers arrive at queue 0 according to a Poisson process with rate λ. There are s independent batch service processes at exponential rates μ<sub>0</sub>, ⋯ , μ<sub>s</sub> <sub>-</sub> <sub>1</sub>. Service process i, i= 0 , ⋯ , s- 1 , at rate μ<sub>i</sub> is such that all customers of...journal article 2017

Hugtenburg, Stefan (author)Wireless sensor networks are commonly used to remotely and automatically monitor environments.<br/>One of the main challenges in wireless sensor networks is to use the limited available energy as efficiently as possible, to ensure longevity of the network. For such networks to survive their intended deployment period no energy may be wasted on...master thesis 2017

(author)Energy constraint long-range wireless sensor/actuator-based solutions are theoretically the perfect choice to support the next generation of city-scale cyber-physical systems. Traditional systems adopt periodic control which increases network congestion and actuations while burdens the energy consumption. Recent control theory studies...journal article 2017

Sherson, T.W. (author), Heusdens, R. (author), Kleijn, W.B. (author)In this paper, we focus on the challenge of processing data generated within decentralised wireless sensor networks in a distributed manner. When the desired operations can be expressed as globally constrained separable convex optimisation problems, we show how we can convert these to extended monotropic programs and exploit Lagrangian duality...conference paper 2016

Mitici, M.A. (author), Goseling, J. (author), de Graaf, M extern (author), Boucherie, R.J. (author)We consider an ad-hoc network of wireless sensors that harvest energy from the environment and broadcasts measurements independently, at random, provided sufficient energy is available. Clients arriving at the network are interested in retrieving measurements from an arbitrary set of sensors of some fixed size s. We show that the sensors...journal article 2016

Zhang, H. (author)For energy management in wireless sensor networks, only the sensors with most informative measurements are activated to operate. How to select sensors that make good tradeoff between performance and energy consumption is what many researchers are focusing on.

Wang, X. (author)Ambient energy-harvesting technology is a promising approach to keep wireless sensor networks (WSNs) operating perennially. Depending on the harvesting source, nodes can either be active (alive) or inactive (dead) at any instant in such Energy-Harvesting WSNs (EH-WSNs). Thus, even in a static deployment of EH-WSNs, the network topology is no...master thesis 2015
