CRI: A Heterogeneous Sensor Network Laboratory for Integrated Research and Education

方案#：CNS07-09268PI(S)：杜，小江机构：北达科他州立大学法戈，ND 58105-5756题目：异质传感器网络研究与教育一体化实验室项目建议：构建一个由100个低端传感器和20个高端传感器组成的异质传感器网络试验台，以及4个工作站，研究异质传感器网络的容量(吞吐量)和寿命限制。该试验台旨在支持以下有关HSN的项目：确定基本性能限制；调查创新的网络架构；以及。设计安全高效的时间同步方案。前者研究容量(吞吐量)和生命周期限制，为设计更好的协议和算法提供洞察力。第二个项目研究支持可靠、高效的集群和通信的体系结构。后者致力于设计安全高效的时间同步方案。性能评估包括能耗、信号强度、通信开销、计算开销、存储要求、数据传递率(吞吐量)、端到端延迟、安全性等。代理影响：基础设施有助于在EPSCoR州吸引代表不足的群体(包括美洲原住民、女性、低收入和第一代学生)。IS还在军事、国土安全、医疗保健、环境、农业、制造业和其他传感器网络应用领域做出贡献。

Proposal #: CNS 07-09268PI(s): Du, XiaojiangInstitution: North Dakota State University Fargo, ND 58105-5756Title: A Heterogeneous Sensor Network Laboratory for Integrated Research and EducationProject Proposed:This project, building a Heterogeneous Sensor Network (HSN) testbed consisting of 100 low-end and 20 high-end sensors, and 4 workstations, studies the capacity (throughput) and lifetime limits of HSNs. The testbed aims to support the following projects regarding HSNs: . Determining Fundamental Performance Limits;. Investigating Innovative Network Architectures; and. Designing Secure and Efficient Time Synchronization Schemes.The former studies capacity (throughput) and lifetime limits to provide insight to the design of better protocols and algorithms. The second project investigates architectures that support reliable and efficient clustering and communications. The latter concentrates on the design of secure and efficient time synchronization schemes. Performance evaluation includes energy consumption, signal strength, communication overhead, computation overhead, storage requirement, data delivery rate (throughput), end-to-end delay, security, etc.Broader Impacts: The infrastructure contributes to attract underrepresented groups (including Native Americans, female, low income, and first generation students) in an EPSCoR state. Is also contributes to military, homeland security, health care, environment, agriculture, manufacturing, and other areas where sensor networks have applications.
