About PhD research

Exploring IoT Opportunities in Developing Countries

WSN Challenges & Objectives

°  However, WSNs inherent several challenges

WSN challenges

Energy

Collaboration

Real-time / QoS

Self-organizatio

n Security

Reliability

Adaptability

Traditionally the main design objective has been to prolong system lifetime

Research Issues °  Why only Energy?

± continuous advent of novel low-power and energy harvesting technologies ³  Koomey’s law

± varying application requirements °  Other metrics need to be considered

± packet delay ± packet delivery ± adaptability ± redundancy ± asynchrony ± scalability

°  PhD focus ± AREA-MAC a novel MAC protocol that,

along with energy, deals with other factors

Exploring IoT Opportunities in Developing Countries

AREA-MAC Protocol

°  Asynchronous Real-time Energy-efficient & Adaptive MAC

§  Energy §  Packet delay §  Packet delivery §  Asynchrony §  Adaptability §  Scalability §  Redundancy §  Overhead

Issues

§  Duty cycle §  Short preamble §  more-to-follow §  No sync §  Long/short sleep §  Message type §  pre-ACK/NACK §  Sequence no.

Solutions §  Reduced

ü energy cons ü packet delay ü redundancy

§  Increased ü packet delivery ü adaptability ü scalability

Outcome
