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

提案编号：CNS 07- 09268 PI： 杜晓江研究机构：北达科他州州立大学 Fargo，ND 58105- 5756标题： 一个异构传感器网络实验室的综合研究和教育项目建议：本项目，建立一个异构传感器网络（HSN）的测试床，包括100个低端和20个高端传感器，和4个工作站，研究的容量（吞吐量）和生命周期限制的HSN。该试验平台旨在支持以下有关HSN的项目：确定基本性能极限;研究创新的网络架构;以及。设计安全和有效的时间同步方案。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和高效的集群和通信的架构。后者集中在安全和有效的时间同步方案的设计。性能评估包括能耗，信号强度，通信开销，计算开销，存储要求，数据传输速率（吞吐量），端到端延迟，安全性等。更广泛的影响：基础设施有助于吸引代表性不足的群体（包括美国原住民，女性，低收入，第一代学生）在EPSCoR状态。它还有助于军事，国土安全，医疗保健，环境，农业，制造业和传感器网络应用的其他领域。

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.
