Experimental validation of opportunistic direct interconnection between different Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract

Abstract-Cooperation between Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is needed in order to fully realise the vision for the Internet of Things (IoT). As endeavours towards IoT continue, compatibility and interoperability between distinctive networks in WSNs becomes crucial. However, considering the wide range of WSN applications, heterogeneity in the platforms and communication protocols in use is potentially unavoidable. To help integrate WSNs with IoT, this research studies a framework to enable Opportunistic Direct Interconnection (ODI) between distinctive WSNs. The interconnection of different WSNs, using different internal communication protocols, are practically validated with empirical experiments. ODI involves the addition of a lightweight shared protocol for interconnection between WSNs. The implementation confirms the feasibility of ODI as a practically obtainable system, and quantifies the low overheads in terms of memory and energy.

Partner selection in self-organised wireless sensor networks for opportunistic energy negotiation: A multi-armed bandit based approach

“…This assumption is reasonable in negotiations with pre-established short deadlines [42]. Moreover, the experimental results found in [43] shows that the energy cost to maintain ODI functionality is also insignificant.…”

A Cloud Based Conceptual IdentityManagement Model for Secured Internetof Things Operation

“…This approach relies on the IP address as the identifier. Other identity management techniques that exist within the context of IoT are: URL as an identifier [38], ubiquitous code [39], ODI [40], short OID [41], EPC [42], and RFID object identifier [43]. These identity schemes including the one proposed by Near Field Communications forum have been analysed and their limitations summarised in Table 2.…”
