Sensor Networks

sensor network

In recent years, sensor networks have emerged as an important class of networks for many military and commercial applications. A sensor network is a collection of wireless communication nodes. Each node is capable of sensing the environment and communicating the measured data to the neighboring nodes, and eventually to the external users. The majority of sensor networks are designed to collect data or to perform anomaly detection. In this research, we study the algorithms and coding techniques for energy efficiency, robustness, accurate localization and collection in sensor networks.
