ECE Seminar Series

The Electrical and Computer Engineering department will host a seminar featuring Dr. Vivek S. Deshpande, Dean of academics at MIT College of Engineering. The seminar title is QoS and Design Challenges in Wireless Sensor Communications Networks.
 

ABSTRACT

Nowadays, Wireless Sensor Networks play a predominant role in the communication domain. The data to be disseminated from multiple sources to the destination base station or sink is vital. There are many problems with which data can be conveyed up to the sink. The congestion, reliability, delay, fairness, etc., are of main concern. These can be treated as Quality of Service parameters that govern the performance of the WSN. Above all, Energy consumption is the main constraint for the WSN node. It is very difficult to obtain good QoS by keeping energy consumption low. Even if the response of one of the QoS parameters will depend on the many other QoS parameters. We have to take care of all QoS parameters to improve the performance of the wireless sensor networks. This Quality of Services may improve the application base of the WSN. With the QoS parameters, data dissemination and energy optimization are affected. We have to check the performance of the WSN against the QoS metrics for different data inputs. This may contain periodic, nonperiodic, event-based, and transient or burst data. For all these different types of input data, we are checking the performance of QoS parameters like congestion, reliability, and fairness. This may lead new researchers to verify their results and excel in their research work accordingly.
