1 Border Security Using Wireless Integrated Network Sensors

1. The document describes a Wireless Integrated Network Sensor (WINS) system for border security. WINS uses sensor nodes distributed across the border area that detect footsteps and communicate with each other and a main node. 2. The border area is divided into nodes that detect signals from footsteps using sensors. The signals are processed to identify strangers and sent to the main node for identification. 3. WINS requires very low power, uses multihop communication between nodes, and can identify intruders in real time, providing an improved security system over alternatives like radar.

BORDER SECURITY USING WIRELESS INTEGRATED NETWORK SENSORS (WINS)

Wireless Integrated Network Sensors (WINS) now provide a new monitoring and
control capability for monitoring the borders of the country. Using this concept we
can easily identify a stranger or some terrorists entering the border.

The border area is divided into number of nodes. Each node is in contact with each
other and with the main node. The noise produced by the foot-steps of the stranger
are collected using the sensor. This sensed signal is then converted into power
spectral density and the compared with reference value of our convenience.
Accordingly the compared value is processed using a microprocessor, which sends
appropriate signals to the main node. Thus the stranger is identified at the main
node.

processing, and communication systems have been implemented in micro power
CMOS circuits. A micro power spectrum analyzer has been developed to enable low
power operation of the entire WINS system.
Thus WINS require a Microwatt of power. But it is very cheaper when
compared to other security systems such as RADAR under use. It is even used for
short distance communication less than 1 Km. It produces a less amount of delay.
Hence it is reasonably faster. On a global scale, WINS will permit monitoring of land,
water, and air resources for environmental monitoring. On a national scale,
transportation systems, and borders will be monitored for efficiency, safety, and
security.

Wireless Integrated Network Sensors (WINS) combine sensing, signal


processing, decision capability, and wireless networking capability in a compact, low
power system. Compact geometry and low cost allows WINS to be embedded and
distributed at a small fraction of the cost of conventional wireline sensor and actuator
systems. On a local, wide-area scale, battlefield situational awareness will provide
personnel health monitoring and enhance security and efficiency. Also, on a
metropolitan scale, new traffic, security, emergency, and disaster recovery services
will be enabled by WINS. On a local, enterprise scale, WINS will create a
manufacturing information service for cost and quality control. The opportunities for
WINS depend on the development of scalable, low cost, sensor network
architecture. This requires that sensor information be conveyed to the user at low bit
rate with low power transceivers. Continuous sensor signal processing must be
provided to enable constant monitoring of events in an environment. Distributed
signal processing and decision making enable events to be identified at the remote
sensor. Thus, information in the form of decisions is conveyed in short message
packets. Future applications of distributed embedded processors and sensors will
require massive

numbers of devices. In this paper we have concentrated in the most


important application, Border Security.

2. WINS SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE


Conventional wireless networks are supported by complex protocols that are
developed for voice and data transmission for handhelds and mobile terminals.
These networks are also developed to support communication over long range (up to
1km or more) with link bit rate over 100kbps. In contrast to conventional wireless
networks, the WINS network must support large numbers of sensors in a local area
with short range and low average bit rate communication (less than 1kbps). The
network design must consider the requirement to service dense sensor distributions
with an emphasis on recovering environment information. Multihop communication
yields large power and scalability advantages for WINS networks. Multihop

communication, therefore, provides an immediate advance in capability for the


WINS narrow Bandwidth devices. However, WINS Multihop Communication
networks permit large power reduction and the implementation of dense node
distribution. The multihop communication has been shown in the figure 2. The figure
1 represents the general structure of the wireless integrated network sensors (WINS)
arrangement.

3. WINS NODE ARCHITECTURE


The WINS node architecture (Figure 1) is developed to enable continuous
sensing, event detection, and event identification at low power. Since the event
detection process must occur continuously, the sensor, data converter, data buffer,
and spectrum analyzer must all operate at micro power levels. In the event that an
event is detected, the spectrum analyzer output may trigger the microcontroller. The
microcontroller may then issue commands for additional signal processing
operations for identification of the event signal. Protocols for node operation then
determine whether a remote user or neighboring WINS node should be alerted. The
WINS node then supplies an attribute of the identified event, for example, the
address of the event in an event look-up-table stored in all network nodes. Total
average system supply currents must be less than 30 µ A. Low power, reliable, and
efficient network operation is obtained with intelligent sensor nodes that include
sensor signal processing, control, and a wireless network interface. Distributed
network sensor devices must continuously monitor multiple sensor systems, process
sensor signals, and adapt to changing environments and user requirements, while
completing decisions on measured signals.

For the particular applications of military security, the WINS sensor systems must
operate at low power, sampling at low frequency and with environmental background
limited sensitivity. The micro power interface circuits must sample at dc or low
frequency where “1/f” noise in these CMOS interfaces is large. The micropower
signal processing system must be implemented at low power and with limited word
length. In particular, WINS applications are generally tolerant to latency. The WINS
node event recognition may be delayed by 10 – 100 msec, or longer.
4. WINS MICRO SENSORS
Source signals (seismic, infrared, acoustic and others) all decay in amplitude
rapidly with radial distance from the source. To maximize detection range, sensor
sensitivity must be optimized. In addition, due to the fundamental limits of
background noise, a maximum detection range exists for any sensor. Thus, it is
critical to obtain the greatest sensitivity and to develop compact sensors that may be
widely distributed. Clearly, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology
provides an ideal path.
