Abstract
Wireless sensor networks are application-specific networks, and usually a new network design is required for a new application. In event-driven wireless sensor network applications, the sink node of the network is generally concerned with the higher level information describing the events happening in the network, not the raw sensor data of individual sensor nodes. As the communication is a costly operation in wireless sensor networks, it is important to process the raw data triggering the events inside the network instead of bringing the raw data to the sink and processing it there. This helps reducing the total amount of packets transmitted and total energy consumed in the network. In this paper, we propose a new method that distributes the information processing into the sensor network for event-driven applications. We also describe an application scenario, healthcare monitoring application, that can benefit from our approach. © 2009 IEEE.

Activity recognition invariant to sensor orientation with wearable motion sensors
Yurtman, A.; Barshan, B. (MDPI AG, 2017)Most activity recognition studies that employ wearable sensors assume that the sensors are attached at pre-determined positions and orientations that do not change over time. Since this is not the case in practice, it is ... -
Balancing energy loads in wireless sensor networks through uniformly quantized energy levels-based clustering
Ali, Syed Amjad; Sevgi, Cüneyt; Kocyigit, A. (IEEE, 2010)Clustering is considered a common and an effective method to prolong the lifetime of a wireless sensor network. This paper provides a new insight into the cluster formation process based on uniformly quantizing the residual ...
