Topic: A Phased-Mission Framework for Communication Reliability in WSN
Abstract:
In this talk we present a phased-mission framework and develop corresponding algorithms for the communication reliability of wireless sensor networks (WSN). In particular, we identify two types of communication phases in WSN: infrastructure communication phase (ICP) and application communication phase (ACP). Since a complete WSN communication task usually involves one or more ICP and ACP, the WSN communication can be analyzed as a phased-mission system. Besides the difficulties in the reliability analysis of traditional phased-mission system, the dynamic structure during the ACP brings new challenges to our study. Under the proposed phased-mission framework, we develop binary decision diagram-based evaluation algorithms for K-coverage guaranteed WSN communication reliability. Both bidirectional and unidirectional communication links are considered. The proposed algorithms have no limitation on the type of to time- -failure distributions for the network components. Case studies are given to illustrate the application of the proposed algorithms.
Biography:
Chaonan Wang received the B.E. degree in Electric Power and Automatic Engineering from Shanghai University of Electric Power, Shanghai, China, in 2006, the M.E. degree in the Institute of Microelectronic from Tsinghua University, Beijing, China, in 2009, and the Ph.D. in the Electrical Computer Engineering from University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, USA, in 2014.
She is currently a Research Associate and part-time lecturer in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, North Dartmouth. Her current research interests include reliability analysis and performance evaluation of complex systems and networks.
The Seminars is open to the public free of charge.
