Abstract

Event-triggered wireless sensing systems are an important class of wireless sensor network, where the detection of non-deterministic events enables the monitoring and control of processes in industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, and agriculture. The system properties of low latency, energy efficiency, and adaptability make event-triggered wireless sensing systems a key technological enabler for the Industrial Internet of Things.

<?tight?>Wireless sensing systems based on periodic multi-hop communication exhibit a fundamental trade-off between latency and energy efficiency, which is unfavorable for event-triggered application scenarios. To address this technological gap, we present Blitz, the first communication architecture that combines asynchronous and synchronous flooding primitives to facilitate low latency and energy-efficient multi-hop communication of non-deterministic events. Blitz also incorporates a novel scheme for mitigating erroneous wake-ups, which is shown analytically and experimentally to further reduce energy consumption. We present a prototype implementation of Blitz and evaluate its performance in an indoor testbed deployment. Experiments show that BLITZ supports a mean latency as low as 108.9ms for an 8-bit event packet and its associated data packet of 32 bytes through a 4-hop network, and a power dissipation of 16μW during periods of inactivity.

Zippy: On-Demand Network Flooding
SenSys '15: Proceedings of the 13th ACM Conference on Embedded Networked Sensor Systems

In this paper, we tackle the challenge of rapidly disseminating rare events through a multi-hop network, while achieving unprecedented energy-efficiency. Contrary to state-of-the-art approaches, we circumvent the undesirable trade-offs associated with ...
BLITZ: A Network Architecture for Low Latency and Energy-efficient Event-triggered Wireless Communication
HotWireless '17: Proceedings of the 4th ACM Workshop on Hot Topics in Wireless

We consider wireless sensing systems where an event must be rapidly communicated from its source to a remote host. Due to the non-deterministic nature of event arrivals, multi-hop dissemination using state-of-the-art radio duty-cycled protocols leads to ...
Wake-up radio as an energy-efficient alternative to conventional wireless sensor networks MAC protocols
MSWiM '13: Proceedings of the 16th ACM international conference on Modeling, analysis & simulation of wireless and mobile systems

The use of duty-cycling in Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols effectively helps improving the energy efficiency of wireless networks. However, while the benefits of these protocols are unquestionable, most of them still suffer from overhearing and ...
