IRS: application reconfiguration scheme for wireless sensor networks

Application reconfiguration is essential to achieving flexibility and adaptability of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) used in environment monitoring. In this paper, we present an integrated reconfiguration scheme (IRS) for implementing environment adaptive application reconfiguration (EAAR) in WSNs. In our scheme, application reconfiguration is implemented with the push‐based paradigm for densely distributed nodes and the cluster‐based hybrid reconfiguration (CHR) paradigm for sparsely distributed nodes. We demonstrate the energy‐efficiency and scalability of our scheme by analyzing the energy consumption based on a randomly deployed sensor network. Moreover, we derive the density threshold of reconfiguration nodes (RNs) for determining if the nodes are densely or sparsely distributed, and choose the mode of operation for IRS. We use extensive simulation experiments to demonstrate the effectiveness of our scheme. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Generic Architecture and Mechanisms for Protocol Reconfiguration

The next generation of wireless mobile communications termed beyond 3G (or 4G), will be based on a heterogeneous infrastructure that comprises different wireless networks in a complementary manner. Beyond 3G will introduce reconfiguration capabilities to flexibly and dynamically (i.e., during operation) adapt the wireless protocol stacks to better meet the ever-changing service requirements. For the dynamic reconfiguration of protocol stacks during runtime operation to become a practical capability of mobile communication systems, it is necessary to establish a software architecture that functionally supports reconfiguration. In the present paper, a generic architecture and respective mechanisms to achieve protocol stack and component based protocol layer reconfiguration are proposed.

Multi-objective design space exploration for system partitioning of FPGA-based Dynamic Partially Reconfigurable Systems

Dynamic Partial Reconfiguration (DPR) enables resource sharing in FPGA-based systems. It can also be used for the mitigation of aging-related permanent faults by increasing the number of redundant Partially Reconfigurable Regions (PRRs). Normally, these PRRs are able to host any of the Partially Reconfigurable Modules (PRMs), or tasks, at one particular instance. This kind of system is called homogeneous. However, the FPGA resource constraints limit the amount of homogeneous redundancy that can be used and hence affect the lifetime of the system. This issue can be addressed by utilizing the heterogeneous approach where each PRR now only hosts a subset of the tasks. Further, the deadlines of the applications must also be taken care of in the design phase to decide the mapping and scheduling of tasks to PRRs. To this end, we propose an application-specific multi-objective system-level design methodology to determine the appropriate number of PRRs and the mapping and scheduling of tasks to the PRRs. Specifically, we propose a lifetime-aware scheduling method that maximizes the system's mean time to failure (MTTF) with different tolerances in the makespan specification of an application. We use the scheduler along with an automated floorplanner for design space exploration at design-time to generate a feasible heterogeneous PRR-based system. Our experiments show that the heterogeneous systems can offer more than 2x lifetime improvement over homogeneous ones. It also offers better scaling with increased tolerance in makespan specification.
