CRI: A Research Infrastructure for Investigation of Performance, Configuration, and Security Issues of Wireless Sensor and Ad Hoc Networks

这个项目，验证和扩展工作的传感器定位和安全，和移动自组网地址分配和重新配置，旨在建立一个基础设施，以服务的发展和评估新的算法和系统，传感器节点的定位在一个受阻的传感器网络环境，传感器节点的安全性和维护功能模块的完整性，自动配置的网络地址在移动自组网，和-随着节点的移动和独立移动自组网的合并，移动自组网地址的重新配置和地址切换，规划工作主要集中在节点的定位、自动配置和重新配置上，而原有工作中对传感器节点的安全性和功能模块完整性的维护将最小化。研究人员通过数学分析和模拟获得了先前的结果，最终希望在最初提出的传感器和ad hoc研究基础设施上验证它，但目前将继续模拟大规模的传感器和ad hoc网络。更广泛的影响：添加真实的系统提高了研究质量，吸引了新的学生。研究生和本科生都将能够在他们的研究工作中使用基础设施。此外，无线和移动的自组织网络具有巨大的潜力，可以为许多社会进步做出贡献，包括环境监测、精准农业、车对车通信、紧急救援行动等。

This project, validating and extending work in sensor location and security, and MANET address allocation and reconfiguration, aims at building an infrastructure to service the development and evaluation of new algorithms and systems for-Localization of sensor nodes within an obstructed sensor network environment,-Security of sensor nodes and the maintenance of functional module integrity,-Autoconfiguration of network addresses within MANETs, and-Reconfiguration and address handoff of MANET addresses as nodes move and independent MANETs merge.The planning work concentrates mainly in the localization, autoconfiguration and reconfiguration, while the security of sensor nodes and the maintenance of functional module integrity of the original work will be minimized. The researchers have obtained previous results via mathematical analysis and simulation and eventually would like to validate it on the originally proposed sensor and ad hoc research infrastructure, but at present will continue to simulate a large scaled sensor and ad hoc network.Broader Impact: Adding real system advances the research quality and attracts new students. Both graduate and undergraduate students will be able to use the infrastructure in their research endeavors. The PIs plan to work with the Diversity office to attract underrepresented students in these projects.Moreover, wireless and mobile ad hoc networks have significant potential to contribute to numerous societal advancements, including environmental monitoring, precision agriculture, vehicle-to-vehicle communication, emergency rescue operations, etc.
