Distributed sensornetworks are a promising technology for surveillance and reconnaissance in many applications, such as nextgeneration C4ISR and the digital battlefield. The dearth of effective security mechanisms are a main obstacle to the acceptance of distributed sensornetworks. As research pushes sensor nodes to be smaller and ubiquitous, security issues become paramount. Security in sensornetworks needs to be considered during the early phases of development. This paper describes a decentralized solution to the problem of securely checking node membership in ad hoc sensornetworks. This method does not require each node to maintain a membership list, does not require communication between the base station and verifying node, and it efficiently handles dynamic membership events (node leaves and joins). It is based on the concept of quasi-commutative hash functions, also called one-way accumulators. The paper analyzes resource requirements and suggests new ways to optimize the use of one-way accumulators while maintaining security in sensor node applications.

In this paper, we propose an algorithm to realize a power-aware network topology in wireless sensornetworks. The algorithm creates a multicast tree connecting all sensor nodes. In the multicast tree, a sink node should be a root node, and all the data sensed in the sensor nodes are transferred to the sink node using the tree connection. The relay nodes aggregate the received data, and transfer the aggregated data to the sink at an appropriate timing so as to avoid packet collisions. To do this, all the sensor nodes are grouped in clusters. Here, each cluster has a head node, which is automatically selected from among the nodes in the cluster. In addition, our algorithm has an autonomous mechanism that can change the cluster head dynamically based on the remaining energy of each sensor node and the communication quality among the sensor nodes, which are obtained by periodical information exchange between the sensor nodes. This mechanism contributes to extending the lifetime of the sensor network. After describing the algorithm, some experimental results are shown to prove its effectiveness and robustness.

The IEEE 802.15.4 Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol is designed for low data rate, short distance and low power communication applications such as Wireless sensornetworks (WSN). However, in the standard 802.15.4 MAC, if the remaining number of backoff periods in the current superframe are not enough to complete data transmission procedure, the sensor nodes hold the transmission until the next superframe. When two or more sensor nodes hold data transmission and restart the transmission procedure simultaneously in the next superframe, it causes a collision of data packets and waste of the channel utilization. Therefore, the MAC design is inadequate to deal with high contention environments such as densely deployed sensornetworks. In this paper, we propose a data fragmentation scheme to increase channel utilization and avoid inevitable collision. Our proposed scheme outperforms the standard IEEE 802.15.4 MAC in terms of collision probability and aggregate throughput. The proposed scheme is easily adapted to the standard IEEE 802.15.4 MAC without any additional message types.

Energy effciency is one of important issues in the resource constrained wireless sensor network. In this paper, we pro- pose the authentication and key agreement protocol that efficiently reduces the overall computational and communticion cation costs in the nextgeneration converged network. The enhanced security procedures are operated through the mo- bile network in order to maximize the lifetime of the sensornetworks and to apply the combined capabilities of both networks.

nextgeneration network (NGN) is IP based broadband and integrated network of existing communicationnetworks. This paper defines requirements of management information to perform resource admission and path computation for single-phase resource control scheme in NGN transport stratum. We also propose high-speed resource control mechanism based on parallel and single-phase scheme to minimize delay overhead between centralized resource admission control functions and transport functions.

Energy efficient protocol design for Wireless sensornetworks (WSNs) is a very challenging task because of limited battery capacity of nodes. This necessity for energy efficient operation of a WSN has prompted the development of new protocols in all layers of the communication stack. Layer-wise utilization of densely deployed nodes to effectively prolong the overall network life is presented in this paper. Simulation is done in QualNet 6.1 network simulator. Effective number of layers as well as effective node density over a terrain is also analyzed to achieve energy efficient design. Layering helps the network to work for a long time as only one layer in the network is in action at a time, rest layers are completely sleeping. Also, sensor nodes in ML-MAC (Multi-Layer MAC) have a very short listening time that reduces the energy consumption during communication. The results are used to create a parameter estimator through MATLAB.

To enable new context-aware applications and services in future communication systems, wireless sensornetworks (WSNs) are required to capture the context surrounding the service user and service related objects. This paper introduces a novel configurable architecture for a WSN system that is able to deliver context information from the sensors to the user in different application environments, and allows its efficient integration into third generation (3G) mobile communication systems in particular into the IP multimedia subsystem (IMS). The proposed architecture offers significant advantages compared to the ZigBee architecture.
