Factors influencing sensor network design


Fault tolerance

Fault tolerance is the ability to sustain sensor network functionalities without any interruption due to sensor node failures. The fault tolerance level depends on the application of the sensor networks.

Factors influencing sensor network design


Scalability
Scalability measures the density of the sensor nodes.
2)/A Density = (R) =(N R

11

Factors influencing sensor network design


Production costs
The cost of a single node is very important to justify the overall cost of the networks. The cost of a sensor node is a very challenging issue given the amount of functionalities with a price of much less than a dollar.

Communication architecture of sensor networks


Application layer The three possible application layer protocols are Sensor management protocol (SMP) Task assignment and data advertisement protocol (TADAP) Sensor query and data dissemination protocol (SQDDP)

17

Communication architecture of sensor networks


Transport layer This layer is especially needed when the system is planned to be accessed through Internet or other external networks. No attempt thus far to propose a scheme or to discuss the issues related to the transport layer of a sensor network in literature.

18

Communication architecture of sensor networks


Network layer Power efficiency is always an important consideration. Data aggregation is useful only when it does not hinder the collaborative effort of the sensor nodes. An ideal sensor network has attribute-based addressing and location awareness.
19

Communication architecture of sensor networks


Data link layer The data link layer is responsible for the medium access and error control. It ensures reliable point-to-point and point-tomultipoint connections in a communication network.

Communication architecture of sensor networks


Medium access control Creation of the network infrastructure Fairly and efficiently share communication resources between sensor nodes

21

Communication architecture of sensor networks


Error control Forward Error Correction (FEC) Automatic Repeat Request (ARQ). Simple error control codes with lowcomplexity encoding and decoding might present the best solutions for sensor networks.

Communication architecture of sensor networks


Physical layer The physical layer is responsible for frequency selection, frequency generation, signal detection, modulation and data encryption.
