    Abstract: A system and method for a sensor-based monitoring that includes a computer system, smart nodes, and an RFID reader device. The system collects data to measure health condition of a plurality of people at an event. The computer system determines candidate cluster heads with above average battery level. The smart nodes determine a subset of the candidate cluster heads that are within communication range, retrieve battery level of the determined subset of cluster heads, and select a cluster head having the highest battery level. The selected cluster head announces selection as the selected cluster head, receives requests to join a cluster, reads sensor data of the body sensor in each joined smart sensor as collective sensor data for the cluster, and sends the collective sensor data to the computer system via the RFID reader. Information is collected from smart nodes in an efficient manner for large-scale monitoring systems.

    Abstract: A method, network system, and non-transitory computer readable medium that arrange a set of wireless mobile devices into a two-level clustering structure including a cluster in a first-level and a cluster in the second-level, based on node status registered and algorithm preinstalled in a back-end server, where each of the set of wireless mobile devices is assigned either one of a slave member of a cluster in the first-level, a master of a cluster in the first-level where the master is also a member of a cluster in the second-level, or a super master of a cluster in the second-level where a master of a cluster in the first-level is assigned as the super master. The two-level clustering structure is periodically updated. Only the super-masters are configured to communicate with the back-end server via a long-range connection to WLAN, while a short-range wireless interface is used for internal communications.

    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide a method for selecting a relay node at a first node for transmitting a packet from the first node to a destination node in a wireless sensor network that includes a plurality of nodes. The method can include establishing a transmission angle within which the relay node is preferentially selected, wherein a bounding box surrounding the destination node is between a first side and a second side of the transmission angle, and selecting a second node having a highest remaining energy level among energy levels of neighbor nodes of the first node within the transmission angle to be the relay node. In one example, the candidate nodes for selecting the second node have a remaining energy level above a threshold.

    Abstract: A method for evaluating performance of a sensor network. The method includes selecting, a sensor distribution pattern for a geographical region and determining a location for a base station. A plurality of sensor clusters are generated, each sensor cluster being formed by one of a first and second grouping mechanism. Further, the method allocates, for each sensor a time-slot within a time-frame to transmit a data packet from the sensor to the base station, and evaluates the performance of the first grouping mechanism and the second grouping mechanism for the selected sensor distribution pattern and base station location, by computing at least a ratio of delivered data packets to the base station to a total energy consumption, and a first delay and a second delay incurred by each data packet.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a clustering approach for sensor nodes of a wireless sensor network. This clustering approach, equal distance different members, balances the power burden amongst sensor nodes by deriving an optimal number of sensor nodes at each segment of a length. To this end, the present disclosure describes a linear wireless sensor network wherein the distance between adjacent cluster heads is equal while the number of and distance between sensor nodes in each cluster is different. A power consumption model is derived to aid in the determination of the optimal number of sensor nodes within each cluster. Following evaluation of the cluster approach in comparison with previously described approaches, the present disclosure is observed to improve network longevity and reduce power consumption by deliberately increasing the density of sensor nodes nearest a base station.
