Power Efficient Topologies for Wireless Sensor Networks

Overview Wireless sensor networks have become possible because of the on-going improvements in sensor technology and VLSI. One issue in smart sensor networks is achieving efficient operation because of the limited available power. For important classes of sensor networks, such as biomedical sensors, the locations of the sensing nodes are fixed and the placement can be pre-determined. This paper considers the topology that best supports communication among these sensor nodes. The paper proposes a power-aware routing protocol and simulate the performance, showing that the routing protocol adapts routes to the available power. This leads to a reduction in the total power used as well as more even power usage across nodes.

VoIP primer: How it works - and what the jargon means

The packets that make up the audio stream may take different routes from node to node over the network in question but and are put back into order at the termination point to make up the audio that we recognise as conversation.

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?

Telecom 2.0: Mind over matter

ntl:Telewest Business believes that the role of the telco is evolving. Gone are the days when it was enough to simply focus on circuits and minutes, customers now need a far higher degree of interaction and look for suppliers who will talk business solutions with them.
