Enabling cognition in wireless sensor networks

该项目旨在实现无线传感器网络（WSN）领域的重大进展，从而广泛使用无处不在、廉价、可靠和高度自主的低能耗无线传感器网络。设计方法将基于认知概念，认知概念被定义为系统对部署认知节点的环境的感知能力，并利用这些信息做出有利于网络性能的个人或集体决策。这项研究将基于三个主要主题。在主题1中，我们将构建一个完整的系统配置文件，其中包括连接所有节点的通道的映射、用户/应用程序需求和预测的网络状态。主题2侧重于部署规划策略和分布式控制与决策。主题3致力于硬件

This project aims at achieving a major advance in the area of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) leading to a wide use of low-energy wireless sensor networks that are ubiquitous, inexpensive, reliable, and highly autonomous. The design approach will be based on the cognitive concept which is defined as the ability of the system to be aware of the environment in which cognitive nodes are deployed and the use of this information to make individual or collective decisions that benefit the network performance. The research will be based on three major themes. In Theme 1 we will build a complete system profile that includes a map for the channels linking all nodes, user/application requirements, and predicted network status. Theme 2 focuses on deployment planning strategies and distributed control and decision making. Theme 3 is devoted to hardware
