  4. Wireless Sensor Networks • Revolutionary technology. • Hard energy, rate, or delay constraints change fundamental design principles • Breakthroughs in devices, circuits, communications, networking, signal processing and crosslayer design needed. • Rich design space for many industrial and commercial applications.

  5.

  6. Crosslayer Protocol Design in Sensor Networks • Application • Network • Access • Link • Hardware Protocols should be tailored to the application requirements and constraints of the sensor network

  7. Cross-Layer Design with Cooperation Multihop Routing among Clusters

  8. Double String Topology with Alamouti Cooperation • Alamouti 2x1 diversity coding scheme • At layer j, node i acts as ith antenna • Synchronization required • Local information exchange not required

  9. Equivalent Network with Super Nodes • Each super node is a pair of cooperating nodes • We optimize: • link layer design (constellation size bij) • MAC (transmission time tij) • Routing (which hops to use)

  10. Minimum-energy Routing (cooperative)

  11. Minimum-energy Routing (non-cooperative)

  12. MIMO v.s. SISO(Constellation Optimized)

  13. Delay/Energy Tradeoff • Packet Delay: transmission delay + deterministic queuing delay • Different ordering of tij’s results in different delay performance • Define the scheduling delay as total time needed for sink node to receive packets from all nodes • There is fundamental tradeoff between the scheduling delay and total energy consumption

  14. 2!3 3!5 3!4 1!3 4!5 2!5 Minimum Delay Scheduling 5 • The minimum value for scheduling delay is T (among all the energy-minimizing schedules): T=å tij • Sufficient condition for minimum delay: at each node the outgoing links are scheduled after the incoming links • An algorithm to achieve the sufficient condition exists for a loop-free network with a single hub node • An minimum-delay schedule for the example: {2!3, 1!3, 3!4, 4!5, 2!5, 3!5} 4 3 1 T T 2

  20. Cooperative Compression • Source data correlated in space and time • Nodes should cooperate in compression as well as communication and routing • Joint source/channel/network coding

  21. Cooperative Compression and Cross-Layer Design • Intelligent local processing can save power and improve centralized processing • Local processing also affects MAC and routing protocols

  22.

  26. Applications

  27. Joint Design ofControl and Communications - Generally apply different design principles • Control requires fast, accurate, and reliable feedback. • Networks introduce delay and lossfor a given rate. - Sensors must collect data quickly and efficiently • The controllers must be robust and adaptive to random delays and packet losses. • Control design today is highly sensitive to loss and delay - The networks must be designed with control performance as the design objective. • Network design tradeoffs (throughput, delay, loss) become implicit in the control performance index • This complicates network optimization

  29. Potential Pieces of the Puzzle • Local autonomy • Subsystems can operate in absence of global data • Estimation, prediction, and planning • Exploit rich set of existing tools • Command buffering and prefetching • Increases tolerance to data latency and loss • Time stamps and delay-adaptive control • Modular design • Supervisory control via models, cost functions, modes

  30. Summary • Cross layer design especially effective in sensor networks. • Node cooperation can include cooperative compression • Cooperative gains depend on network topology and application. • Cross layer design must optimize for application • Requires interdisciplinary understanding, e.g. for control
