MetroSense
In the
MetroSense project we are designing a new wireless sensor edge
network for the future Internet
based on the concept of "people-centric sensing" at scale (e.g.,
campus, town, metropolis). The MetroSense
architecture has been designed to exploit resources asymmetry
and symbiotically
operate with existing networks infrastructures. Part of the
architecture is the
'opportunistic sensor networking' model which exploits the uncontrolled
mobility
of people and vehicles to efficiently support sensing and
communications in
large scale urban settings. We are currently building the MetroSense
infrastructure
in the Dartmouth College Campus and it is already operational in the
Computer
Science building.
Armstrong
The Amstrong
Project is developing new technologies for wireless sensor and ad hoc
networks. Four initial
contributions made by the project are the development of a congestion
control framework for wireless sensor networks, a set of informed
rate-control algorithms, a congestion-aware
adaptive aggregation proposal a reliable
transport protocol for wireless sensor networks;
energy-efficient routing schemes for wireless ad hoc networks,
and a framework of medium access control algorithms.
