6. What are sensor networks? Small, wireless, battery-powered sensors MICA2 mote Smart Dust

7. Why small, wireless, battery- powered sensors? Traditional big, wired sensors –Expensive, inefficient, hard to deploy, power- consuming –Undesirable: For example, deployment of big traditional sensors can disturb the environment in habitat monitoring –Dangerous: Imagine manual deployment of big traditional sensors for disaster recovery or battlefield monitoring

8. WSN Applications Inexpensive micro-sensors & on-board processing embedded in environments for fine-grained in-situ monitoring Ad-hoc deployment – No communication infra should be built ahead of time Structural health monitoring Fire monitoring Habitat monitoring

13. Grading Paper critique: 10% Paper presentation: 20% Midterm: 20% (No final exam ) Project: 40% Class Participation: 10%

14. One Page Paper Critique Not a complete essay but more of a bulleted list Part A: Briefly identify the key contributions of the paper –What research problem does it try to solve? –Why is it an important problem? –What's the proposed approach? Part B: Try to find if there is any problem in the paper –Any problems in the assumptions? –Any technical shortcomings or drawbacks? –Do the experimental results support the original claim? Part C: Any idea for improvement? (Optional) –Most challenging part –You can get the full credit by finishing Parts A and B –But, you are encouraged to try do this part as well

15. Paper Presentation 35 - 40 minute presentation per student –Present key ideas, algorithms/heuristics & performance results –Discuss related work to show how the paper presented by you is different from other work –A list of papers for student presentations will be provided Find more related papers yourself if necessary 5 minutes for questions & discussions

16. Project 2-3 students can work as a team –Find your team! Implement an existing protocol in OMNeT++ or Motelab –OMNeT++ is easier to use that ns-2 –If you plan to use Motelab, confirm your protocol works properly by implementing and verifying it first in TOSSIM (TinyOS Simulator) Extend the protocol or develop your own approach Compare their performance

17. Project Examples: –Implement an existing MAC, packet scheduling, routing, or data aggregation/in-network data processing protocol and tweak it to improve the performance or reliability –Implement a routing protocol and inject attacks such as packet dropping attacks; Observe what happens & investigate a possible countermeasure –Tell me which topic you choose before you go too far! Use your imagination!
