  1. Uncertainty in Wireless Sensor Networks Wang-Chien Lee Pennsylvania State University wlee@cse.psu.edu

  2. Motivating WSN Applications • Habitat monitoring • Military surveillance • Intelligent transportation system • Human healthcare system • Food quality monitoring • …

  3. Uncertainty in WSN Applications • Uncertainty is a major issue in WSN applications • Uncertainty is inherent from nature – difficult to predict • Uncertainty is often caused by our limited ability in capturing the reality • Three Aspects of Uncertainty in WSN • Communication uncertainty • Sensing uncertainty • Data uncertainty

  4. Communication Uncertainty • Asymmetric wireless links • Unreliable link quality • Intermittent connections

  5. Sensing Uncertainty

  6. Data Uncertainty • Limits in sensing devices p 0.4 0.3 0.3 70 60 65 temp • Limits in information • extraction techniques Possible values It is about 60 – 70 F

  7. Challenges • Uncertainty modeling in link quality • Uncertainty modeling in network connectivity • Probabilistic routing • Sensing coverage • Uncertain data management • In-network probabilistic query processing
