Behovsanalys av LPWAN-enheter : En kvalitativ undersökning för implementering av lågenergienheter på det svenska lantbruketBruce, Johan January 1990 (has links)
Anledningen till studien är för att avgöra om det svenska lantbruket är en lämplig sektor för att implementera LPWAN-enheter (datasändande lågenergienheter) på. Det anses intressant att veta om det finns ett behov för denna teknik på det nya området. Syftet med arbetet är hitta nya områden inom lantbruk som kan effektiviseras och göras mer hållbart med hjälp av IoT. Syftet är att göra en jämförelse på lantbruk för och efter implementering. Arbetet ska gå till grunden för verkliga behov där IoT kan fungera som en hjälpande hand samt utvärdera vilka områden inom svenskt lantbruk som har störst innovationspotential, på vilka sätt IoT-enheter kan göra svenskt lantbruk mer hållbart samt hur svenska lantbrukare vill att arbetslivet i en uppkopplad miljö ska vara uppbyggd. Att genom besök, intervjuer, en enkät samt idégenerering skapa en klar bild på vilka områden som är mest av behov av detta. Arbetet grundar sig på aktionsforskning och design thinking. Arbetet kommer även eftersöka likande forskning och utveckling inom området för att skapa en bild vad som håller på att hända inom sektorn. Förutom detta behöver sensorer testas i verklig miljö för att avgöra skillnader och möjliga nya innovativa arbetsprocesser. Ett test har gjorts där ett nuvarande arbetssätt av att mäta temperaturer testats mot tekniken. Både lantbrukare, forskare samt personer som arbetar inom branschen har blivit kontaktade för att ge sin syn på området. Resultatet visar att det det finns stor innovationspotential inom området och att stora förändringar kan göras genom implementering av IoT. Bevisen för att dessa enheter kommer att påverka ur ett hållbarhetsperspektiv har dock inte varit lika framhävande. Resultatet visar även att arbetssättet för framtida lantbrukare kan komma att förändras genom att manuella kontroller nu kan ske på distans samt att klimatmätningar nära gården med hjälp av de fokuserade IoT-enheterna både är mer noggranna och mer uppskattade av lantbrukaren. Tekniken är behövd inom området och mer forskning och utveckling borde göras inom området. Enheterna som ska användas borde utvecklas efter lantbrukarnas behov och kan därmed skilja sig markant på grund av att behoven är olika.

Energy-Efficient Routing for Greenhouse Monitoring Using Heterogeneous Sensor NetworksBehera, Trupti Mayee, Khan, Mohammad S., Mohapatra, Sushanta Kumar, Samail, Umesh Chandra, Bhuiyan, Md Zakirul Alam 01 July 2019 (has links)
A suitable environment for the growth of plants is the Greenhouse, that needs to be monitored by a continuous collection of data related to temperature, carbon dioxide concentration, humidity, illumination intensity using sensors, preferably in a wireless sensor network (WSN). Demand initiates various challenges for diversified applications of WSN in the field of IoT (Internet of Things). Network design in IoT based WSN faces challenges like limited energy capacity, hardware resources, and unreliable environment. Issues like cost and complexity can be limited by using sensors that are heterogeneous in nature. Since replacing or recharging of nodes in action is not possible, heterogeneity in terms of energy can overcome crucial issues like energy and lifetime. In this paper, an energy efficient routing process is discussed that considers three different sensor node categories namely normal, intermediate and advanced nodes. Also, the basic cluster head (CH) selection threshold value is modified considering important parameters like initial and residual energy with an optimum number of CHs in the network. When compared with routing algorithms like LEACH (Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy) and SEP (Stable Election Protocol), the proposed model performs better for metrics like throughput, network stability and network lifetime for various scenarios.

Energy-Efficient Power Management Architectures for Emerging Needs from the Internet of Things Devices to Data CentersKim, Dongkwun January 2022 (has links)
The Internet of Things (IoT) is now permeating our daily lives, providing critical data for every decision. IoT architecture consists of multiple layers with unique functions and independent components. Each layer of IoT architecture requires different power sources and power delivery schemes. Therefore, different types of power management architectures are required for individual IoT components. Fortunately, advances in metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) technology have made it possible to implement a variety of high-performance power management architectures.
These power management architectures should not only create the power rails required for IoT components but also serve additional functions depending on the application. The power management architecture of IoT devices needs to support sub-mW- or mW-scale power consumption. In addition, the power management architecture should be either fully integrated on a chip or miniaturized with few passive components to minimize the size of IoT devices. Building-scale data centers, on the other hand, need various power conversion stages. In this scenario, power conversion from an intermediate DC bus to many point of loads (PoL) requires a high conversion ratio DC-DC converter. Because each PoL draws enormous amounts of power, the power management architecture should withstand high currents and include protection circuitry to prevent damage.
This thesis presents research on the design of power management architectures required by IoT devices and data centers. Chapter 2 presents the design and circuit techniques of power management architectures for IoT devices. Chapter 2 outlines a new methodology for co-designing an integrated switched-capacitor (SC) DC-DC converter and a load circuit in ultra-low-power IoT devices. This methodology enables the implementation of an area-efficient fully integrated IoT system-on-chip (SoC) while maintaining high power conversion efficiency (PCE). Chapter 3 presents a 10-output ultra-low-power single-inductor-multiple-output (SIMO) DC-DC buck converter with integrated output capacitors for sub-mW IoT SoCs. Featuring a continuous comparator-based output switch controller and a digital pulse-width modulation (PWM) controller for ultra-low feedback latency, this SIMO converter produces ten independent output voltages with high PCE.
Lastly, in Chapter 4, an integrated programmable gate timing control and gate driver chip for an active-clamp forward converter (ACFC) Power Block for data center applications is developed. While the ACFC Power Block converts 12-48 V intermediate DC bus voltage to a digital PoL voltage, the gate timing control and driver chip can optimize PCE and reduce the system form factor.

Investigating Software-based Clock Synchronization for Industrial NetworksGore, Rahul Nandkumar January 2021 (has links)
A rising level of industrialization and advances in Industry 4.0 have resulted in Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) gaining immense significance in today’s industrial automation systems. IIoT promises to achieve improved productivity, reliability, and revenues by connecting time-constrained embedded systems to “the Internet”. New opportunities bring with them challenges, and in particular for industrial networks, massively interconnected IIoT devices communicating in real-time, require synchronized operation of devices for the ordering of information collected throughout a network. Thus, a time or clock synchronization service that aligns the devices’ clocks in the network to ensure accurate timestamping and orderly event executions, has gained great importance. Achieving adequate clock synchronization in the industrial domain is challenging due to heterogeneous communication networks and exposure to harsh environmental conditions bringing interference to the communication networks. The investigative study based on existing literature and the envisioned architecture of the future industrial automation system unveils that the key requirements for future industrial networks are to have a cost-effective, accurate, scalable, secured, easy to deploy and maintain clock synchronization solution. Today’s industrial automation systems employ clock synchronization solutions from a wide plethora of hardware and software based solutions. The most economical, highly scalable, maintainable software-based clock synchronization means are best candidates for the identified future requirements as their lack in accuracy compared to hardware solutions could be compensated by predictive software strategies. Thus, the thesis’s overall goal is to enhance the accuracy of software-based clock synchronization in heterogeneous industrial networks using predictable software strategies. The first step towards developing an accurate clock synchronization for heterogeneous industrial networks with real-time requirements is to investigate communication parameters affecting time synchronization accuracy. Towards this goal, we investigated actual industrial network data for packet delay profiles and their impact on clock synchronization performance. We further analyzed wired and wireless local area networks to identify key network parameters for clock synchronization and proposed an enhanced clock synchronization algorithm CoSiNeT for field IoT devices in industrial networks. CoSiNeT matches well with state-of-the-practice SNTP and state-of-the-art method SPoT in good network conditions in terms of accuracy and precision; however, it outperforms them in scenarios with degrading network conditions.

Sudden Cardiac Arrest Prediction Through Heart Rate Variability AnalysisPlewa, Luke Joseph 01 June 2015 (has links) (PDF)
The increase in popularity for wearable technologies (see: Apple Watch and Microsoft Band) has opened the door for an Internet of Things solution to healthcare. One of the most prevalent healthcare problems today is the poor survival rate of out-of hospital sudden cardiac arrests (9.5% on 360,000 cases in the USA in 2013). It has been proven that heart rate derived features can give an early indicator of sudden cardiac arrest, and that providing an early warning has the potential to save many lives. Many of these new wearable devices are capable of providing this warning through their heart rate sensors. This thesis paper introduces a prospective dataset of physical activity heart rates collected via Microsoft Band. This dataset is indicative of the heart rates that would be observed in the proposed Internet of Things solution. This dataset is combined with public heart rate datasets to provide a dataset larger than many of the ones used in related works and more indicative of out-of-hospital heart rates. This paper introduces the use of LogitBoost as a classifier for sudden cardiac arrest prediction. Using this technique, a five minute warning of sudden cardiac arrest is provided with 96.36% accuracy and F-score of 0.9375. These results are better than existing solutions that only include in-hospital data.

Cascading permissions policy model for token-based access control in the web of thingsAmir, Mohammad, Pillai, Prashant, Hu, Yim Fun January 2014 (has links)
No / The merger of the Internet of Things (IoT) with cloud computing has given birth to a Web of Things (WoT) which hosts heterogeneous and rapidly varying data. Traditional access control mechanisms such as Role-Based Access schemes are no longer suitable for modelling access control on such a large and dynamic scale as the actors may also change all the time. For such a dynamic mix of applications, data and actors, a more distributed and flexible model is required. Token-Based Access Control is one such scheme which can easily model and comfortably handle interactions with big data in the cloud and enable provisioning of access to fine levels of granularity. However, simple token access models quickly become hard to manage in the face of a rapidly growing repository. This paper proposes a novel token access model based on a cascading permissions policy model which can easily control interactivity with big data without becoming a menace to manage and administer.

Finding Locally Unique IDs in Enormous IoT systemsYngman, Sebastian January 2022 (has links)
The Internet of Things (IoT) is an important and expanding technology used for a large variety of applications to monitor and automate processes. The aim of this thesis is to present a way to find and assign locally unique IDs to access points (APs) in enormous wireless IoT systems where mobile tags are traversing the network and communicating with multiple APs simultaneously. This is done in order to improve the robustness of the system and increase the battery time of the tags. The resulting algorithm is based on transforming the problem into a graph coloring problem and solving it using approximate methods. Two metaheuristics: Simulated annealing and tabu search were implemented and compared for this purpose. Both of these showed similar results and neither was clearly superior to the other. Furthermore, the presented algorithm can also exclude nodes from the coloring based on the results in order to ensure a proper solution that also satisfies a robustness criterion. A metric was also created in order for a user to intuitively evaluate the quality of a given solution. The algorithm was tested and evaluated on a system of 222 APs for which it produced good results.

Machine Learning-Based Decision Support to Secure Internet of Things SensingChen, Zhiyan 07 December 2023 (has links)
Internet of Things (IoT) has weaknesses due to the vulnerabilities in the wireless medium
and massively interconnected nodes that form an extensive attack surface for adversaries. It is essential to ensure security including IoT networks and applications. The thesis focus on three streams in IoT scenario, including fake task attack detection in Mobile Crowdsensing (MCS), blockchain technique-integrated system security and privacy protection in MCS, and network intrusion detection in IoT. In this thesis, to begin, in order to detect fake tasks in MCS with promising performance, a detailed analysis is provided by modeling a deep belief network (DBN) when the available sensory data is scarce for analysis. With oversampling to cope with the class imbalance challenge, a Principal Component Analysis (PCA) module is implemented prior to the DBN and weights of various features of sensing tasks are analyzed under varying inputs. Additionally, an ensemble learning-based solution is proposed for MCS platforms to mitigate illegitimate tasks. Meanwhile, a k-means-based classification is integrated with the proposed ensemble method to extract region-specific features as input to the machine learning-based fake task detection. A novel approach that is based on horizontal Federated Learning (FL) is proposed to identify fake tasks that contain
a number of independent detection devices and an aggregation entity. Moreover, the
submitted tasks are collected and managed conventionally by a centralized MCS platform. A centralized MCS platform is not safe enough to protect and prevent tampering sensing tasks since it confronts the single point of failure which reduces the effectiveness and robustness of MCS system. In order to address the centralized issue and identify fake tasks, a blockchain-based decentralized MCS is designed. Integration of blockchain into MCS enables a decentralized framework. The distributed nature of a blockchain chain prevents sensing tasks from being tampered. The blockchain network uses a Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance (PBFT) consensus that can tolerate 1/3 faulty nodes, making the implemented MCS system robust and sturdy. Lastly, Machine Learning (ML)-based frameworks are widely investigated to identity attacks in IoT networks, namely Network Intrusion Detection System (NIDS). ML models perform divergent detection performance in each class, so it is challenging to select one ML model applicable to all classes prediction. With this in mind, an innovative ensemble learning framework is proposed, two ensemble learning approaches, including All Predict Wisest Decides (APWD) and Predictor Of the Lowest Cost (POLC), are proposed based on the training of numerous ML models. According to the individual model outcomes, a wise model performing the best detection performance (e.g., F1 score) or contributing the lowest cost is determined. Moreover, an innovated ML-based framework is introduced, combining NIDS and host-based intrusion detection system (HIDS). The presented framework eliminates NIDS restrictions via observing the entire traffic information in host resources (e.g., logs, files, folders).
