Dynamic energy-aware sensor configuration in multi-application monitoring systems

Abstract

A typical pervasive monitoring system like a smart building depends on an infrastructure composed of hundreds of heterogeneous wireless sensor devices. Managing the energy consumption of these devices poses a challenging problem that affects the overall efficiency and usability. Existing approaches for sensor energy consumption typically assume a single monitoring application to consume sensor data and a static configuration for sensor devices. In this paper, we focus on a multi-application context with dynamic requirements and multi-modal sensor devices. We present 3SoSM, an approach to optimize interactions between application requirements and wireless sensor environment in real-time. It relies on an energy-aware dynamic configuration of sensor devices to lower energy consumption while fulfilling application requirements. To bind together sensor configuration and dynamic management of data streams, we design a sustainable multi-application monitoring system architecture for pervasive environments that collects application requirements for sensor data streams and optimizes them into sensor configurations. To demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach, a set of experiments are designed in the context of smart buildings. We comparatively evaluate our approach to show how dynamic sensor configuration for multiple monitoring applications indeed outperforms the mainstream duty-cycling method.

Yapı Bilgi Modellemesinin Kablosuz Algılayıcı Ağ Entegrasyonu ile Gerçek Zamanlı Akıllı Bina Yönetim Sistemi Prototipi

“…Akıllı bina yönetim sistemi, binalarda oturan kişilerin konforunu sağladığı, yaşam standartlarını yükseltmeyi amaçladığı gibi, enerji takibi ve enerji tüketimini iyileştirmeyi de hedeflemektedir. Yeryüzü kaynaklarının bir gün biteceği gerçeğini göz önünde bulundurursak, gelecek nesillere yaşanabilir bir dünya bırakmak adına enerji kaynaklarını önemseyen, tüketimleri mümkün oldukça asgari düzeye indirmeye çalışan akıllı sistemlere her zaman ihtiyaç vardır [2,3].…”

Designing a Novel Smart Homemonitoring Systemwith the Integration of Bim and WSN

“…We spend most of our life in the buildings and enhancing living environment through the use of smart technology has a crucial role to improve the ambience in buildings and also working environments. To reduce energy consumption, management of the building (monitoring via control based wireless sensor networks and actuators) is required [Wu, 2014], even taking into account energy consumption of the monitoring system itself [Pinarer, 2017].…”
