One of its potential deployments is in the form of smart home and ambient assisted living (SHAAL)to measure patients or elderly physiological signals, control home appliances, and monitor home. This paper focuses on the development of a wireless sensor node platform for SHAAL application over WSN which complies with the IEEE 802.15.4 standard and operates in 2.4 GHz ISM (industrial, scientific, and medical) band. The initial stage of SHAAL application development is the design of the wireless sensor node named TelG mote. The main features of TelG mote contributing to the green communications include low power consumption, wearable, flexible, user-friendly, and small sizes. It is then embedded with a self-built operating system named WiseOS to support customized operation. The node can achieve a packet reception rate (PRR) above 80% for a distance of up to 8 m. The designed TelG mote is also comparable with the existing wireless sensor nodes available in the market.展开更多

This paper studies the multi-objective node placement problem to guarantee the reliability and real time of IWSNs from the perspective of systems. A novel multi-objective node deployment model is proposed in which the reliabil- ity, real time, costs and scalability of IWSNs are addressed. Considering that the optimal node placement is an NP-hard problem, a new multi-objective binary differential evolu- tion harmony search (MOBDEHS) is developed to tackle it, which is inspired by the mechanism of harmony search and differential evolution. Three large-scale node deploy- ment problems are generated as the benCHmarks to verify the proposed model and algorithm. The experimental results demonstrate that the developed model is valid and can be used to design large-scale IWSNs with guaranteed reliability and real-time performance efficiently. Moreover, the comparison results indicate that the proposed MOB- DEHS is an effective tool for multi-objective node place- ment problems and superior to Pareto-based binary differential evolution algorithms, nondominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA-II) and modified NSGA-II.展开更多
