“…Meng-Shiuan [4] proposed an address assignment and routing schemes for ZigBee-based long-thin wireless sensor networks (LT WSNs), divided nodes into several clusters, and then assigned each node with a cluster ID and a node ID, which served as the network address. Nevertheless, the LT WSN only seemed to be a special case of numerous WSN topologies and is rarely used in common applications.…”

Abstract-In ZigBee networks, a tree topology is often used to construct a wireless sensor network for data delivery applications. However, the distributed address assignment mechanism provided in the ZigBee specification make inefficient use of the address space, which may cause the orphan problem. In this paper we addressed this problem and proposed a flexible address assignment scheme based on prefix codes, which can be easily applied to construct a tree topology ZigBee network with more efficient use of the address space. Moreover, it can also achieve a low overhead when an addition or subtraction of devices occurs in the network.

“…This mechanism can work well in common scenarios. However, in some cases, such as nodes non-uniform distributed networks and long-thin networks (LT WSNs) [4], the orphan problem may happen. The devices, which cannot join the network resulted from exhaustion address space arc called orphans [5].…”

“…Each bicycle is equipped with a unique ZigBee identification module and an optional biomedical monitoring and display device. Bicycles do not require GPS, and when cyclers are cycling on the paths provided by the bike path establishment module, the wireless sensor nodes (routers and gateways) on the path collect data of the passing cyclists (bicycle ID and cyclists' biomedical data) and then transmit the data to cloud servers [8]. The cloud service module is then used to provide services related to trajectory monitoring and group positioning, activity and health records, and immediate safety.…”

In this study, we used the wireless sensor network technique to design the following three modules: a bike device module, bike path establishment module, and cloud service module. These three modules were used to address issues related to cycling activities, including green power supply, activity and health records, trajectory monitoring and group positioning, and immediate safety issues. The cloud service module also includes a path establishment simulation system that enables a path manager to simulate paths before they are physically provided to determine the ideal establishment method for providing wireless sensor nodes. Each module designed in this study is extendable and independent. These modules can be used to rapidly increase the establishment range of bicycle paths and to easily maintain existing paths. The module designs and service frameworks proposed in this study can be employed for large-scale establishment and installation, such as in national forest parks, to enable park management to control the location and safety of tourists easily.

“…In recent research, the long‐thin topology has been promoted for many practical applications of WSNs where the sensor deployment is subject to environmental constraints 4. For instance, a surveillance system of moving cars along streets, a monitoring system of carbon dioxide inside tunnels, and a monitoring system of water quality within underground sewer lines are typical applications.…”

Constrained by the physical environments, the long-thin topology has recently been promoted for many practical deployments of wireless sensor networks (WSNs). In general, a long-thin topology is composed of a number of long branches of sensor nodes, where along a branch each sensor node has only one potential parent node toward the sink node. Although data aggregation may alleviate excessive packet contention, the maximum payload size of a packet and the dynamically changing traffic loads may severely affect the amount of sensor readings that may be collected along a long branch of sensor nodes. In addition, many practical applications of long-thin WSNs demand the exact sensor readings at each location along the deployment areas for monitoring and analysis purposes, so sensor readings may not be aggregated when they are collected. This paper proposes a lightweight, self-adaptive scheme that designates multiple collection nodes, termed lock gates, along a long-thin network to collect sensor readings sent from their respective upstream sensor nodes. The self-adaptive lock gate designation scheme balances between the responsiveness and the congestion of data collection while mitigating the funneling effect. The scheme also dynamically adapts the designation of lock gates to accommodate the time-varying sensor reading generation rates of different sensor nodes. A testbed of 100 Jennic sensor nodes is developed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed lock gate designation scheme.
