“…At present, the wireless sensor nodes designed or produced are generally classified into two categories: the first are nodes which take the general-purpose microprocessors as core components and use the design methods of embedded systems; the second are nodes designed using the platforms for designing specified device like FPGA and ASIC, such as PicoRadio [13], Multi-Radio WSN platform [14], and so on. Most sensor nodes are designed using the first method.…”

Safety production of coalmines is a task of top priority which plays an important role in guaranteeing, supporting and promoting the continuous development of the coal industry. Since traditional wireless sensor networks (WSNs) cannot fully meet the requirements of comprehensive environment monitoring of underground coalmines, wireless multimedia sensor networks (WMSNs), enabling the retrieval of multimedia information, are introduced to realize fine-grained and precise environment surveillance. In this paper, a framework for designing underground coalmine WMSNs based on Multi-Band Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing Ultra-wide Band (MB-OFDM-UWB) is presented. The selection of MB-OFDM-UWB wireless transmission solution is based on the characteristics of underground coalmines. Network structure and design challenges are analyzed first, which is the foundation for further discussion. Then, key supporting technologies and open research areas in different layers are surveyed, and we provide a detailed literature review of the state of the art strategies, algorithms and general solutions in these issues. Finally, other research issues like localization, information processing, and network management are discussed.

“…These studies focus on performance enhancement on single application and do not discuss the run-time adaptation and its challenges in real world WSNs. In [13], a multi-radio WSN platform has been proposed. It employs four parallel radio transceivers to increase the data transfer rate and decrease communication latency by sending/receiving data simultaneously.…”

Wireless sensor networks have become shared resources providing sensing services to monitor ambient environment. The tasks performed by the sensor nodes and the network structure are becoming more and more complex so that they cannot be handled efficiently by traditional sensor nodes any more. The traditional sensor node architecture, which has software implementation running on a fixed hardware design, is no longer fit to the changing requirements when new applications with complex computation are added to this shared infrastructure due to several reasons. First, the operation behavior changes because of the application requirements and the environmental conditions which makes a fixed architecture not efficient all the time. Second, to collaborate with other already deployed sensor networks and to maintain an efficient network structure, the sensor nodes require flexible communication capabilities. Furthermore, the information required to determine an efficient hardware/software co-design under the system constraints cannot be known a priori. Therefore a platform which can adapt to run-time situations will play an important role in wireless sensor networks. In this paper, we present a hardware/software codesign framework for a wireless sensor platform, which can adaptively change its hardware/software configuration to accelerate complex operations and provides a flexible communication mechanism to deal with complex network structures. We perform real-world measurements on our prototype to analyze its capabilities. In addition, our case studies with prototype implementation and network simulations show the energy savings of the sensor network application by using the proposed design with run-time adaptivity.

Abstract. With the growth and the development of new applications for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), sensor nodes are able to handle more complex events that require higher processing performance and hardware flexibility. These new features intend to meet the requirements of various applications, as well as to provide customized platforms that have only the needed resources. WSNs often need a flexible architecture able to adapt to design and environment changes. The use of reconfigurable architectures is an alternative to bring more flexibility and more processing capability for the sensor node. This paper proposes a reconfigurable and customizable sensor node called FemtoNode which has a reconfigurable platform and a wireless module to support applications for WSNs, using an object-oriented language Java as specification language of its architecture. The proposed concepts were validated with a case study of an heterogeneous wireless sensor network composed of sensors nodes based on different platforms, whose results are described in this work.
