WCP and WCPCap: Congestion
Control for Multi-hop Wireless Mesh Networks
WCP and WCPCap are congestion control schemes for multi-hop
wireless networks with any-to-any
traffic pattern. WCP is a rate-based, end-to-end distributed
congestion control scheme that shares congestion
status and average RTTs of flows in a
neighborhood to achieve fairness through correct congestion
signaling and rate clocking of all the flows in the network.
In contrast,
WCPCap is an explicit rate feedback
scheme that estimates spare capacity in a neighborhood and
apportions it fairly among flows traversing
the neighborhood. WCP and WCPCap has been
implemented in Qualnet while WCP has also
been implemented for Linux using Click
Modular Router.

IFRC: Interference-Aware Fair Rate Control
IFRC is a distributed
congestion control scheme for wireless sensor networks.
For a wireless network consisting of N nodes sending data
to a single base station (many-to-one traffic pattern)
over multiple hops,
IFRC provides fair and
efficient rate to all the flows in the network.
IFRC has been
implemented on Tmote Sky, a wireless sensor networks
platform.

Wisden: Wireless Sensor Network
for Structural Health Monitoring
Wisden
is a wireless sensor network based data acquisition system
for structural health monitoring. Consisting of
reliable data delivery, data synchronization and data
compression schemes it provides support for data
acquisition of vibration data up to 200Hz along 3-axes.
Wisden
had been deployed on a real building (which
was shaken using hydraulic shakers) and a seismic test structure.
Experience gained from Wisden
has resulted in Tenet, a new
architecture for sensor networks. Wisden had now been
developed as an application on Tenet architecture.
