  1. A UBIQUITOUS PUBLISH/SUBSCRIBE PLATFORM FOR WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS WITH MOBILE MULES

  2. Problems of Ubiquitous Sensing • Stationary sensors are more likely to be sparsely deployed in most scenarios. • But it is cost prohibitive to connect each of them to the Internet at every site. • As a result, their deployments and usages are heavily limited. Sparsely Deployed Temperature Sensors in a Forest

  3. ProblemsofUbiquitous Sensing • On the other hand, applications of mobile sensors become incredibly popular. • But they are constrained by sensor types and abilities. • Our goal: • Easier and more flexible deployments of stationary sensors. • Enable ubiquitous sensing services from both stationary sensors and mobile sensors.

  4. System Model • Publish/subscribe paradigm is employed to support asynchronous communications. • Smart phones are utilized as both mobile sensors and data mules. • Built-in sensors: GPS, Camera, etc. • Short range communication with wireless sensors, IEEE802.15.4, Bluetooth, or ANT. • Encounter and communicate with wireless sensors opportunistically. • Stationary sensors are sparsely deployed.

  5. Key Challenges • Deployments of both stationary sensors and mobile sensors are dynamic. • Communication overhead will draw power quickly from both mobile phones and stationary sensors. • Mobile users who carry the smart phones have individual and uncontrollable mobility.

  6. Related Work • MQTT-S has been proposed to enable topic-based publish/subscribe in WSNs. • Huang et al. described how to distribute the system across multiple computers or mobile devices to distribute load and cope with failures, message loss and disconnections. • The above works focus on adoption of publish/subscribe in WSNs and publish/subscribe system with mobile environments, while the sensing context, heterogeneity of sensing devices, mobility of nodes and limited connectivity of wireless sensors remain to be further explored.

  7. Network Model • Stationary Sensor: SSensor. • Mobile Sensor: MSensor. • Platform Server: Broker. • Mobile Phone: Mobile Broker. • Sparse Sensor Networks: SSNs.

  8. Publish/Subscribe Platform Design • Area-based Subscriptions

  9. Publish/Subscribe Platform Design • Adaptive Location Updates • How often should a MB update its locations? • Default: periodically with constant time interval • Reduce unnecessary location updates

  10. Publish/Subscribe Platform Design • Full Installation • Best-effort Subscription Delivery • Number of MSensors in a target area is higher dynamic. • Installations of subscriptions to SSensors are opportunistic. • Keep deployments of sensors transparent to platform.

  11. Publish/Subscribe Platform Design • Event Data Collection • ECF: flag avoiding unnecessary collection. • Push-based event collection for MSensors. • Pull-based event collection for Ssensors.

  12. Implementation • Broker: • Restful Http Server. • Mobile Broker: • Android + Usb cable + IEEE 802.15.4. • ANT or Bluetooth 4 in the future • Stationary Sensor: • Contiki + Rime + Coffee + IEEE802.15.4.

  13. Experimentation • Scenario and Settings

  14. Experimentation • Installation of Stationary Sensors along Hiking Trail.

  15. Experimentation • Sensing Data from Stationary Sensors

  16. Experimentation • Sensing Data from Mobile Sensors

  17. Experimentation • Sensing Data from Mobile Sensors

  18. Experimentation • Data Delivery Delay

  19. Experimentation • Number of Received Data

  20. Experimentation • Communication Overhead

  21. Summary • We proposed and implemented a novel publish/subscribe platform for ubiquitous data access from both wireless sensors and mobile phones without relying on any network infrastructure. • Mobile phones are utilized as mobile mules to relay subscriptions and published data between the Internet users and the remote sensors. • We implemented our platform on real hardwares and experimented it in a hiking trail application. • In the future, we plan to study the coordination among heterogeneous mobile and sensing devices to further reduce the energy consumption and communication overhead.
