Location-Centric Distributed Computational and Signal Processing in Microsensor Networks
Abstract
The project addressed the following key challenges in the design of microsensor networks: (1) the need for simple and flexible programming abstraction, (2) the need for energy and bandwidth efficient collaborative signal processing algorithms, and (3) the need for robustness to sensor device failures. To address these challenges, the project developed an approach called location-centric computing. A library of communication primitives was developed based on this approach. These communication primitives were used to build a target tracking application that was robust to a large number of device failures. The associated collaborative signal processing algorithms and the corresponding information fusion algorithms were also developed as part of this project. The effectiveness of the approach and the associated algorithms were demonstrated through network simulations and through experimentation on a sensor network testbed.
