There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Title: A Systems Approach to the Design and Deployment of Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract: The objective of the proposed research is to develop collaborative experimental, computational and analytical tools for the study of sensor networks. To this end, our research efforts include developing a deployable sensor network testbed, a versatile sensor network simulator, and an applicable network analysis framework. The anticipated outcomes are: (1) A scalable, synchronized and deployable sensor network. (2) An NS3-based large-scale sensor network simulator with novel clustering and routing algorithms. (3) Innovative stochastic models for the analysis of wireless networks. In particular, we are developing a vibration sensor network that collects real-time data for the structural health monitoring of the Bobby Dodd Stadium, designing an energy-balancing, low-delay routing protocol for hierarchically clustered wireless sensor networks, and performing delay and connectivity analysis of finite ad-hoc networks using results from stochastic geometry.
