  1. Applications and communication patternsfor WSN N. Reijers Consensus day TU Delft February 7, 2003

  2. WSN applications and traffic • MAC simulation requires generating realistic WSN traffic • Routing • Data aggregation • OS • Expected to have special characteristics

  3. Application scenarios • Intruder detection • Forest fire detection • Cattle herd • Battle field • Fire rescue • Environmental monitoring • Condition based maintenance • Airconditioning sensors

  4. 3 types of applications Detection Tracking Active Passive Monitoring Push Pull Communication Event Periodic/event Periodic Query/response Application types

  5. Example:Sheep tracking • Farmers want to know: • Rough location of their sheep • When a sheep wanders off from the herd • When a sheep is lying on its back • Sensor nodes spread throughout the meadow • Sheep carry a node that periodically sends a beacon pulse

  6. Sheep tracking approaches • Raw data to sink • Very inefficient • Active node • Cheap in terms of communication • Rough location estimate • Local triangulation • More expensive in terms of communication • More accurate location

  7. Active node Sink Sheep

  8. Active node Sheep Sink

  9. Local triangulation Sheep Sink

  10. WSN application characteristics • Activity is often very localized both in space and time • High latency is tolerable • Available bandwidth >> required bandwidth • Messages • local or node->sink • sink->node are rare

  11. Application model • Capture charateristics in application scenarios • Generate traffic which is typical for WSN • Scenario description • Network description • Traffic generation • Active areas

  12. Network model • Number of nodes • Placement of nodes • Random • Grid • Radio range • Number of sinks • Placement of sinks • Center / edge / corner

  13. Traffic generation (1) • Generate random messages • Rate (msgs/sec) • Type, selected according to given ratio • Local broadcast • Local unicast • Node -> sink • Sink -> node • Sink -> all 86 38 % 50 % 12 % 0 % 0 %

  14. Traffic generation (2) • For each message type, specify • Message size • Allowed latency • For node->sink messages specify aggregation type • None • Concatenation • Averaging

  15. Active areas • Active areas appear randomly • Rate (new areas/sec) • Avg lifetime • Avg size • 2nd set of parameters for active areas • Traffic generated for active areas is added to normal traffic

  16. Conclusion • Specific characteristics of WSN applications • localized activity • latency • available bandwidth >> required bandwidth • messages • local or node->sink • sink->node are rare • Traffic generation algorithm to model these
