The objective of this project is the implementation of a testbed with wireless sensor nodes in order to test cognitive strategies. The testbed should be configurable, stable, controlled remotely, and easy to use. This testbed will be an impoprtant tool for future cognitive developments

Related Technologies

  • Cognitive Radio
  • Wireless Sensor Networks
  • Linux
  • C

Task

  • State of the art study in cognitive testbeds
  • Adaptation of cognitive nodes for the testbed
  • Remote control of the nodes
  • Functionalities and GUI
  • Tests and results

Requirements

  • Dedication: 4 hours/day.

An Architecture’s Desing and Implementation for Communications Management in a Cognitive Wireless Sensor Network
Posted on by guilja

human_network_

The objective of this project is to design and develop a software architecture that will be able to implement cognitive strategies in nodes to conform a CWSN.

The main model this architecture follows is that one proposed in the Connectivity Brokerage (Jan Rabaey, Adam Wolisz, Ali Ozer Ercan, Alvaro Araujo, Fred Burghardt, Samah Mustafa, Arash Parsa, Sofie Pollin, I-Hsiang Wang, Pedro Malagon 2010) and is represented as follows:

CRModule

In the figure above six modules are shown inside the CAgent (Cognitive Agent). Each of this modules play an specific role inside the Cognitive Module and the work of all of them makes possible the execution of the Cognitive Cycle as defined in Cognitive Networks (Ryan W. Thomas, Luiz A. DaSilva, Allen B. MacKenzie 2005) which exposes that: “A cognitive network has a cognitive process that can perceive current network conditions, and then plan, decide and act on those conditions. The network can learn from these adaptations and use them to make future decisions, all while taking into account end-to-end goals.”.

PFC: Study of wireless nodes as a final product
Posted on by b105

nodo encapsulado

 

The objective of this project is the study of electromagnetic radiation depending on the final location of the node (in a person, in noisy environments, etc), the electromagnetic compatibility with the environment, applicable law, etc. It will also be important to know the effects of the final case (the one that allows us to obtain a device resistant to the conditions of use) in radiation, range and reliability of the node, as well as possible changes in the behavior of the sensors and actuators in the device, etc.

Related Technologies

  • WSN
  • HW design
  • Wireless communications
  • Electromagnetic radiation
  • Mechanics

Task

  • Study of the state of the art in electromagnetic radiations in Wireless Sensor Networks
  • Study of the behavior of nodes with their final case.
  • Requirements definition
  • Implementation of the nodes and functionality
  • Tests and results

 

Requirements

  • Dedication: 4 hours/day.

PFC: Design and implementation of a dynamic Wireless Sensor Network
Posted on by b105

WSN

The objective of this project is to design and to implement the functionality for different types of nodes that form a wireless network (coordinators, end devices, etc.) to be able to manage their spatial mobility without losing functionality. Nodes must be able to discover new nodes in the network and to dynamically associate to coordinators based on their location. Others parameters like optimal topology and routing network are also sought.

Related Technologies

  • WSN
  • Sw design
  • Wireless communications

Task

  • Study of the state of the art in Wireless sensor networks
  • Requirements definition
  • Implementation of the nodes and functionality
  • Tests and results

Requirements

  • Dedication: 4 hours/day.
