Developing a Powerful and Resilient Smart Body Sensor Network through Hypercube Interconnection

Abstract

With recent advances in wireless sensor networks and embedded computing technologies, body sensor networks (BSNs) have become practically feasible. BSNs consist of a number of sensor nodes located and deployed over the human body. These sensors continuously gather vital sign data of the body area to be used in various intelligent systems in smart environments. This paper presents an intelligent design of the body sensor network based on virtual hypercube structure backbone termed as Smart BodyNet. The main purpose of the Smart BodyNet is to provide resilience for the BSN operation and reduce power consumption. Various experiments were carried out to show the performance of the Smart BodyNet design as compared to the state-of-the-art approaches.

A Resilient Smart Body Sensor Network Through Pyramid Interconnection

“…Almogren [20] proposed Smart BodyNet, a design of the WBSN based on virtual hypercube interconnection. Author provide a new design architecture for the proposed as well as performance evaluation for the proposed system in comparison with star interconnection.…”

“…Moreover, we compare our proposed architecture with others in term of power consumption. Nodes in WBSNs consume energy based on the following formula [20]:…”

Secure biometric-based authentication scheme with smart card revocation/reissue for wireless sensor networks

“…In the context of WSNs, the issue of securing and authenticating communication is problematic, especially as nodes currently have no capacity for the secure storage of secret keys. Furthermore, they are frequently deployed in unprotected areas, which makes them more vulnerable to attack [3][4][5][6] Thus, an adversary has an opportunity to capture a sensor node directly from the target field and extract all the information from its memory, as nodes are not generally 1 tamper-resistant, owing to their cost effectiveness. Authentication schemes for WSNs have therefore attracted considerable research attention, and have been studied widely, in an effort to guarantee secure communication.…”

Distributed Dynamic Memetic Algorithm Based Coding Aware Routing for Wireless Mesh Sensor Networks

“…Such networks are called wireless mesh networks (WMNs) [1,2]. Network coding takes advantage of the opportunistic nature and spatial diversity of the wireless medium and copes with unreliable transmissions [3], where Opportunistic Routing (OR) can greatly improve the throughput of multihop wireless network by using shared radio medium.…”

“…Wireless network capacity can easily be extended with little cost if access points are connected to each other using wireless links; also communication bandwidth and energy requirements can be minimized through network coding which is very important for Wireless Sensor Networks as depicted in Figure 1. Such networks are called wireless mesh networks (WMNs) [1, 2]. Network coding takes advantage of the opportunistic nature and spatial diversity of the wireless medium and copes with unreliable transmissions [3], where Opportunistic Routing (OR) can greatly improve the throughput of multihop wireless network by using shared radio medium.…”
