▼ In a setup for a system long term stability and reliability test, sensors are used to measure physical quantities, affecting the behavior of the system, by sampling the sensor readings, convert it to digital numerical value and saving it for further detail analysis. The sensors are wired to a central location to collect and log data, due to extensive wiring requirements the setup is very difficult and sometimes even impossible to implement. This project presents an implementation of high speed wireless data acquisition system which samples sensors output at high speed (5 KHz), converts it to digital numerical form and sends wirelessly to central data gathering unit thus avoiding home run wiring from each sensor to central data gathering unit where it is logged on USB flash drive and send to PC for real time display. The implementation target was wireless link between a transmitter module, serving a maximum of 8 sensors at 5 KHz sampling rate and 16bit ADC resolution for each sensor, to data gathering unit. The implementation does fall short on specification on number of channels and sampling rate due to limitation of over the air data rate of the radio module, what we were able to achieve is 4 channels of 16 bit ADC resolution at 2 KHz sampling rate using radio module with 300 Kbps over the air data rate. Using different sensors and with different configurable settings the tests shows that the stored data at the data gathering unit and the data stored using wired data acquisition system has no difference. For future improvement radio module with over the air data rate (1.55 Mbps) which allows multiple transmitters connected wirelessly to a single data gathering unit providing more flexibility in sensor deployment. Even though the implementation falls short on some of the features but with using improved radio module and/or using some compression techniques on ADC data, before sending data wirelessly, these short comings could be overcome easily.

Thesis Ph. D. Michigan State University. Electrical Engineering 2011.

Wireless sensor systems have been widely used for both industrial and civil applications. With the development of circuit design and fabrication technique, sensor nodes now can be implemented with small scale at low cost, which is promising for ubiquitous sensing. However, with more functions integrated, the conflict between power consumption and expected lifetime became critical. Sensor nodes powered with batteries are generally compromised by extra physical size and periodic battery replacement. Therefore, energy harvesting techniques are intensively involved in sensor design where environmental signal acts as auxiliary energy source.A typical energy harvesting sensor consists of four parts: energy harvester, energy storage, power management and sensor subsystem. Energy harvester scavenges power from environmental signal which is then transferred into energy storage. Since the output power is usually not in appropriate form, power management is used to provide a usable supply voltage/current for sensor subsystem. The limitation of energy harvesting sensor is determined by the power consumption of sensor subsystem, the efficiency of energy conversion and the available energy level from environment.In this dissertation, a novel solution referred as "self-powered sensor" is proposed to extend the limitation of energy harvesting sensor. The proposed sensor can directly harvest energy from input signal being sensed. Therefore the usage of energy storage and power management is eliminated, which achieves higher energy efficiency.To demonstrate proposed solution, the system and circuit design of a self-powered sensor are presented for long-term ambient vibration monitoring. Constrained by its application, the sensor can only scavenge energy from input strain signal itself, in which scenario all existing energy harvesting techniques fail. The greatest design challenge is to achieve both ultra-low power computation and non-volatile storage. In this dissertation, a novel technique based on floating-gate transistor is presented. By exploiting controllable hot electron injection procedure, specific computation can be performed according to the characteristic of input signal. In addition, floating-gates can also retain computation results with no power consumption.For autonomous sensing, a hybrid energy harvesting topology is proposed on system level. The sensor is designed with two different operation modes. In self-powered sensing mode, it can perform continuous monitoring, computation and data storage which is powered by input strain signal. In data interrogating mode, additional functions such as data sampling and wireless communication can be enabled once a certain reading device is provided.The dissertation is organized as follows. In chapter 1, the history of wireless sensor system is reviewed. The motivation of self-powered sensor and the contributions of this dissertation are presented. Existing energy harvesting techniques are evaluated in…

Thesis Ph. D. Michigan State University. Electrical Engineering 2015.

The recent technological progresses make sensor networks feasible to be widely used in both military and civilian applications. The nature of such networks makes energy consumption, communication delay and security the most essential issues for wireless sensor networks. However, these issues may be conflicting with each other. The existing works generally try to optimize one of these key issues without providing sufficient diversity and flexibility of various other requirements in protocol design. In this dissertation, we investigate the relationship and design trade-offs among these conflicting issues.To deal with the lifetime optimization and security issues, we propose a novel secure and efficient Cost-Aware SEcure Routing (CASER) protocol to address them through two adjustable parameters: energy balance control (EBC) and security level to enforce energy balance and increase lifetime and determine the probabilistic distribution of random walking that provides routing security. We derive a tight numerical formula to quantitatively estimate the routing efficiency through the number of routing hops for a given routing security level. We also prove that CASER scheme can provide provable security under the quantitative security measurement criteria. Simulation results also show that the proposed CASER scheme can provide an excellent balance between routing efficiency and security while extending the network lifetime.We then discover that the energy consumption is severely disproportional to the uniform energy deployment for the given network topology. To solve this problem, we propose an efficient non-uniform energy deployment strategy to optimize the network lifetime and increase the message delivery ratio under the same energy resource and security requirements. Our theoretical analysis and OPNET simulation results demonstrate that the updated CASER protocol can provide an excellent trade-off between routing efficiency and energy consumption, while significantly extending the lifetime of the sensor networks in all scenarios. For the non-uniform energy deployment, our analysis shows that we can increase the lifetime and the total number of messages that can be delivered by more than four times under the same energy deployment, while achieving a high message delivery ratio and preventing routing traceback attacks.In WSNs, congestion introduces not only buffer overflow, but also communication delay for forwarding messages from the source node to the sink. We propose a novel congestion-aware routing (CAR) scheme to reduce the end-to-end communication delay while increasing network throughput. CAR employs two routing strategies, shortest path routing strategy and congestion-aware strategy, to achieve a trade-off between energy efficiency and communication delay. The OPNET simulation results demonstrate that the proposed routing scheme can reduce the end-to-end communication delay by 50% while increasing the network throughput by more than two times…

This dissertation focuses on energy-based target localization in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). A WSN consists of a fusion center and a large number of sensors. The fusion center localizes a target using a maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) method based on decisions received from sensors whose positions are known. However, several factors may degrade localization performance, including imperfect communication channels, sensor faults, sensor position uncertainty, and sensor sleep. Localization performance may be improved if these factors are accounted for in the MLE framework. In this dissertation, models were developed that describe how localization performance is affected by imperfect communication channels, multi-hop communication channels, sensor position uncertainty, sensor faults, and sensor sleep. These models were incorporated into the MLE framework either simultaneously or separately. The Cramer-Rao lower bound on the estimation error (CRLB) was also derived. Simulation results showed that the new MLE methods gave better localization performance in terms of root mean square (RMS) estimation errors than current methods which ignore these factors that degrade localization performance. Moreover, the RMS estimation errors were close to the CRLB.Based on the sensor sleep model, an energy saving strategy was developed in which the sensor sleep probability is used to adjust energy consumption of the WSN. However, although the sensor sleep strategy saves energy, sleeping sensors cannot send decisions to the fusion center and missing decisions can degrade localization performance. Therefore, the system design must consider tradeoffs between energy consumption and localization performance. Models of energy consumption and localization performance were developed for one-dimensional and two-dimensional sensor arrays. These models were used in a multi-objective optimization method that balances energy consumption and localization performance. The Pareto-fronts generated by the multi-objective optimization method allow the system designer to make tradeoffs between energy consumption and localization performance.

▼ A wireless sensor network (WSN) provides a platform for embedded sensing and ubiquitous computing. For ad hoc WSNs, multi-hop routing has been adopted in order to save communication power consumption. By acknowledging the lossy characteristics of radio channels on low-power WSNs, the Opportunistic Routing (OR) protocol provides an efficient method for exploiting the spatial and temporal characteristics of these wireless networks by considering multiple forwarding relays for each transmission. The main contribution of this thesis is to provide analysis and modelling for variants of the OR protocol for WSNs. Firstly, based on the basic concepts that underpin OR, we propose a new variant of OR that can be used in WSNs. It is known that communication in WSN is the most power consuming operation; hence, we propose a variant of OR that specifically reduces the total number of transmissions required during the coordination step used in OR. We investigate the effectiveness of this approach and compare it with OR that adopts existing and common candidate coordination schemes. In addition, we also propose a retransmission scheme based on provisional reliability constraints for local loss recovery that can be used in this new variant of OR. Secondly, we propose a comprehensive new analytical framework that is based on Markov Chain and Queueing theories that takes into account the key component strategies of OR (prioritization, selection and coordination) as well as the communication components of WSN. The proposed framework can be used to model the end-to-end reliability and delay performances of WSNs using OR. Thirdly, taking into account the potential deficiencies of OR due to its static coordination scheme, we introduce a variant of OR that is aware of the online quality of its selected forwarding relays that we have named as the Adaptive Coordination Opportunistic Routing (ACOR) protocol. We propose a new local metric to be known as the Opportunistic Quality Score for ACOR to improve the performance of WSNs and, in particular, to support Quality of Service delivery of messages in these networks. In addition, we provide an analytical framework for ACOR that incorporates the adaptive coordination scheme that has been developed.

Thesis Ph. D. Michigan State University. Civil Engineering 2016

"This interdisciplinary research proposes an advanced data analysis framework for civil infrastructure/structural health monitoring (I/SHM) based on a pioneering self-powered sensing technology. The current work characterizes the performance of a fairly new class of self-powered sensors for specific application problems with complex behavior. The proposed health monitoring systems are established through the integration of statistical, artificial intelligence and finite element methods. Different infrastructure systems with various damage types are analyzed. A new probabilistic artificial intelligence-based damage detection technique is developed that hybridizes genetic programming and logistic regression algorithms. The proposed multi-class classification system assigns probabilities to model scores to detect damage progression. A probabilistic neural network method based on Bayesian theory is further introduced to improve the damage detection accuracy. Data obtained from the finite element simulations and experimental study of hybrid sensor networks is used to calibrate the data interpretation algorithms. The network architecture comprises self-powered sensors that use the electrical energy directly harvested by piezoelectric ceramic Lead Zirconate Titanate (PZT) transducers. The beauty of this so-called self-powered monitoring system is that the operating power for the smart sensors directly comes from the signal being monitored. An advantage of using these sensors is that there is no need to directly measure the absolute value of strain in order to estimate damage. In fact, the proposed self-sustained sensing systems use the sensor output to relate the variation rate of strain distributions to the rate of damage. The proposed data analysis framework consists of multilevel strategies for structural/infrastructure damage identification through: (a) analysis of individual self-powered strain sensors, (b) data fusion in a network of self-powered strain sensors, and (c) data analysis in a hybrid network of self-powered accelerometer and strain sensors. For each of these levels, several damage indicator features are extracted upon the simulation of the compressed data stored in memory chips of the self-powered sensors. A new data fusion concept based on the effect of group of sensors, termed as "group effect", is proposed. The goal is to improve the damage detection performance through spatial measurements over structures. Moreover, combination of the data from a network of accelerometer and strain sensors results in developing an integrated global-local damage detection approach. The investigated cases are crack growth detection in steel plates under a uniaxial tension mode, distortion-induced fatigue cracking in steel bridge girders, continuous health monitoring of pavement systems, failure of simply supported beam under three-point bending, and failure of gusset plate of the I-35W highway bridge in Minneapolis, Minnesota. 3D dynamic finite element…

▼ The recent rapid development in wireless communication technologies has opened up the marketfor wireless sensing systems, which is attracting more and more attentions both in the industry and academia. In order to perform accurate sensing using multiple sensors, more calibration requirement and higher power consumption are expected. This inevitably increases the unit cost of wireless sensing nodes. One of the possiblities is that instead of using discrete sensors which will increase system volume and power consumption, integrated sensors can be used to achieve miniaturized size and reduced power requirement, which are of utmost importance in wireless sensing platforms deployment. Another hurdle for massive deployment of wireless sensing platforms is the limited energy capacity of batteries, which determines the system lifetime and hence increases the maintenance cost. Energy harvesting techniques are therefore generally introduced to solve this problem. In this research, various aspects of sensor design requirements in wireless sensing platform, especially passive ones where the system energy is obtained from the environment, is presented. Based on the choice of CMOS compatibility for low-cost implementations, two different case studies for implementing sensors in power/energy limited wireless sensing systems, namely CMOS temperature sensor designs in passive RFID tag and CMOS image sensor design in passive wireless image sensor network, are identified and studied. Various aspects of sensor designs in passively powered wireless sensing platforms are discussed and analyzed. First, power limited/energy limited sensing system is classified. As a result, the choice between low power or low energy sensor architectures can be duly made to achieve optimal system performance. The possibility of harvesting energy using reconfigurable sensor array can also be exploited for improved system power/energy efficiency. For CMOS temperature sensor design in passive RFID tag, the temperature dependence of delay generated using MOSFET operating in all operating regions (i.e. saturation, linear and subthreshold) are studied, and optimization to achieve high linearity for reduced calibration consideration is presented. The use of sensor gain compensation scheme in BJT-based temperature sensor to suppress the inaccuracy introduced due to process variation is proposed. A time-domain differential readout scheme, that can achieve ultra-low power operation and improve SNR, is also proposed. We have successfully implemented and experimentally characterized all the designs to validate our ideas, both in the sensor block level and the RFID tag system level. For all the designs, a required power budget of as low as hundreds of nW and an acceptable sensing inaccuracy of less than ±1°C are achieved. For CMOS image sensor design in wireless sensing platform, a systematic approach to generate a high output voltage using integrated photodiodes in standard CMOS technology is presented. This approach has the benefit that it can be readily implemented in…

▼ This dissertation consists of three studies in communication and information networks. The first chapter analyzes formation of networks when players choose how much time to invest in other players. I assume the information can be transferred using all possible paths in the network and study the model under two different link strength functions. First, under the assumption that the link strength is the arithmetic mean of agents' investment levels, which allows players to form links unilaterally to other players, every player is connected to another either directly or indirectly with no more than two links under any Nash equilibrium. Moreover, the strict Nash equilibrium structure is a star network. Second,under the assumption that the link strength function is Cobb-Douglas in which players have to have bilateral agreement to form links with each other, I show that paired networks in which players are matched in pairs, are Nash equilibria. Moreover, I consider a sequential game in which players choose and announce their investments publicly according to a random ordering. I show that an Assortative Pair Equilibrium, in which players are assortatively matched in pairs according to their information levels, is the only strongly robust Nash equilibrium. In the second chapter, I consider the model introduced in the first chapter and fully characterize the Nash equilibria and surplus-maximizing outcomes for a three-player game, in order to investigate how equilibrium structures are different from the efficient outcomes and how these structures differ under different link strength functions. At equilibrium, the agents choose to invest all their time with only one agent regardless of the link strength function. More links are formed when the agents are perfect substitutes compared to Cobb-Douglas link strength, in which bilateral agreement is required for link formation. Moreover, the results show that the agents have a tendency to connect to fewer agents with higher investment levels from an efficiency perspective. In the third chapter, I investigate a model of communication with two agents and a principal, allowing for asymmetric interdependencies between the agents. Each agent has private information on different dimensions of the state of nature. The interdependencies are characterized as action complementarities or substitutabilities between the agents within the same economic environment. I model the communication as cheap talk messages, assuming the information is not verifiable. I look at two decision mechanisms. First, under the centralized decision mechanism, in which agents communicate vertically with the principal and the principal makes the decisions for the agents after observing the reported private information, the communication takes form of a partition equilibrium. Second, under the decentralized mechanism, the agents communicate horizontally with each other via cheap talk and then make the decision for themselves. Under this protocol, I show that when there are strategic interaction between the… Advisors/Committee Members: Sjostrom, Tomas (chair), Campbell, Colin (internal member), McLean, Richard (internal member), Chatterjee, Kalyan (outside member), School of Graduate Studies.

▼ This thesis investigates performance of the IEEE 802.15.4 standard in the context of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) deployed in pervasive monitoring. IEEE 802.15.4 has been widely acknowledged as the standard physical (PHY) and medium access control (MAC) layer specifcations for WSNs due to its simple protocol stack and low power operation. Mathematical models and computer simulations were devised to analyse the IEEE 802.15.4 MAC protocol and to improve its performance under different applications and operational conditions. First, the beacon-enabled mode of the protocol with acknowledgments (ACKs) was analysed using a discrete time Markov chain (DTMC). The proposed model provides a generalised platform to evaluate the impact of different network and MAC layer parameters and erroneous channel conditions on the performance of the protocol. Second, performance of the non-beacon-enabled mode of the protocol was investigated both with and without ACKs. The outcomes of these analyses were then used to compare and contrast the performance of two operational modes. Third, impact of the presence of hidden nodes on the performance of IEEE 802.15.4 based networks was examined. Using a DTMC model and network simulations, it was shown that the throughput of the protocol is severely reduced due to increased transmission failures caused by hidden nodes. Finally, a new hybrid MAC mechanism was proposed to improve the performance of the IEEE 802.15.4 standard in the context of recently emerged hybrid monitoring applications. Simulation based experiments show that the proposed hybrid protocol not only outperforms the standard protocol, but also provides a reliable, energy effcient and delay limited transmission mechanism for hybrid monitoring WSNs. This thesis has provided a platform for further studies on the performance analysis and application specific tailoring of the IEEE 802.15.4 standard in the context of WSNs.
