Context-Aware Mobile Sensors for Sensing Discrete Events in Smart Environment

Abstract

Over the last few decades, several advancements in the field of smart environment gained importance, so the experts can analyze ideas for smart building based on embedded systems to minimize the expense and energy conservation. Therefore, propelling the concept of smart home toward smart building, several challenges of power, communication, and sensors’ connectivity can be seen. Such challenges distort the interconnectivity between different technologies, such as Bluetooth and ZigBee, making it possible to provide the continuous connectivity among different objects such as sensors, actuators, home appliances, and cell phones. Therefore, this paper presents the concept of smart building based on embedded systems that enhance low power mobile sensors for sensing discrete events in embedded systems. The proposed scheme comprises system architecture that welcomes all the mobile sensors to communicate with each other using a single platform service. The proposed system enhances the concept of smart building in three stages (i.e., visualization, data analysis, and application). For low power mobile sensors, we propose a communication model, which provides a common medium for communication. Finally, the results show that the proposed system architecture efficiently processes, analyzes, and integrates different datasets efficiently and triggers actions to provide safety measurements for the elderly, patients, and others.

A Survey on Mobile Crowdsensing Systems: Challenges, Solutions, and Opportunities

“…The proposed Viterbi-based Context-Aware Mobile Sensing mechanism optimizes sensing decisions by adaptively deciding when to trigger the sensors. For contextbased mobile sensing in smart building, [231] exploits low power sensors and proposes a model that enhances communication, data processing, and analytics. In [232], the authors propose a multidimensional context-aware social network architecture for MCS applications.…”

RSSI-Based for Device-Free Localization Using Deep Learning Technique

“…These sensors are connected through wireless communication to perform several tasks such as sensing, recognizing, and monitoring. These tasks are used in many applications, for example, object tracking [2], intruder detection [3], indoor fire detection [4] and human localization as well as activity recognition in indoor environments [5,6].…”
