This article describes how with the continuous developments in communication technology, the use of wireless network devices is increasing rapidly. However, most companies still rely on wired networks and do not trust wireless networks, especially for process control applications. The confidence in wireless technologies can be built by first evaluating the technology before using it for industrial applications. To this end, the performance of three wireless sensor networks (WSNs) standards, namely, ZigBee, WirelessHART and ISA100, is evaluated. The performance metrics are the throughput, the end to end delay, and the energy consumption. The results show that ISA100 and WirelessHART perform better than ZigBee in large networks. In addition, ISA100 is more flexible than WirelessHART, since it allows using the combination of slotted and slow hopping and configurable timeslot sizes.

Mobile Sink (MS) based routing strategies have been widely investigated to prolong the lifetime of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). In this paper, we propose two schemes for data gathering in WSNs: (i) MS moves on random paths in the network (RMS) and (ii) the trajectory of MS is defined (DMS). In both the schemes, the network field is logically divided into small squares. The center point of each partitioned area is the sojourn location of the MS. We present three linear programming based models: (i) to maximize network lifetime, (ii) to minimize path loss, and (iii) to minimize end to end delay. Moreover, a geometric model is proposed to avoid redundancy while collecting information from the network nodes. Simulation results show that our proposed schemes perform better than the selected existing schemes in terms of the selected performance metrics.

Due to energy and other relevant constraints, addressing of nodes and data routing techniques in sensor networks differ significantly from other networks. In this article, we present an energy-efficient addressing and stateless routing paradigm for wireless sensor networks. We propose a dynamic and globally unique address allocation scheme for sensors in such a way that these addresses can later be used for data routing. We build a tree like organization of sensors rooted by the sink node based on their transmission adjacency and then set labels on each sensor with a number according to the preorder traversal of the tree from the root. In this addressing process, each sensor keeps necessary information so that they can later route data packets to the destination depending on these addresses, without keeping the large routing table and running any no route discovery phase. Moreover, the scheme does not use location information as well (as done by geo-routing) and can be used in the indoor environment. We conduct simulations to measure the soundness of our approach and make a comparison with another similar technique TreeCast. Simulation results reveal that our approach performs better than its counterpart in several important performance metrics like address length and communication energy.

Standar IEEE 802.15.4 merupakan standar acuan pengembangan protokol yang diterapkan untuk teknologi industrial wireless sensor network pada saat ini. Unsur keamanan data dalam industrial wireless sensor network perlu untuk diperhatikan karena dampak gangguan yang timbul akan dapat berpengaruh secara langsung pada proses industri yang sedang beroperasi dan berdampak pada keselamatan pekerja, peralatan dan lingkungan serta keekonomian. Metode enkripsi adalah metode umum yang dipergunakan dalam perlindungan data pada sistem wireless sensor network. Metode enkripsi pada layer physical dengan menggunakan algoritma stream cipher Rabbit dipergunakan sebagai metode alternatif perlindungan data pada sistem aplikasi industrial wireless sensor network yang mana pada umumnya menggunakan metode enkripsi block cipher pada lapisan upper layer. Algoritma Rabbit akan dibandingkan dengan algoritma RC4 yang telah diteliti sebelumnya. Dari hasil simulasi, algoritma Rabbit dengan jumlah kunci yang lebih pendek dan cipher text yang lebih sedikit dapat memberikan hasil yang lebih baik untuk nilai avalanche effect, entrophy dan penggunaan CPU dibandingkan dengan algoritma RC4. Meskipun mendapatkan hasil yang bervariasi pada penggunaan memori dan end to end delay, algoritma Rabbit pada jumlah node tertentu masih dapat memenuhi standar kebutuhan industri untuk aplikasi sektor migas.

Transport Layer Protocols

Multimedia applications impose different QoS requirements (e.g., bounded end-to-end delay and jitter) and need an enhanced transport layer protocol that should handle packet loss, minimize errors, manage network congestion, and transmit efficiently. Across an IP network, the transport layer protocol provides data transmission and affects the QoS provided to the application on hand. The most common transport layer protocols used by Internet applications are TCP and UDP. There are also advanced transport layer protocols such as DCCP and TFRC. The authors evaluated the performance of UDP, DCCP, SCTP, and TFRC over wired networks for three traffic flows: data transmission, video streaming, and voice over IP. The evaluation criteria were throughput, end-to-end delay, and packet loss ratio. They compared their performance to learn in which traffic flow/service each of these protocols functions better than the others. The throughput of SCTP and TFRC is better than UDP. DCCP is superior to SCTP and TFRC in terms of end-to-end delay. SCTP is suitable for Internet applications that require high bandwidth.

Robustness and reliability are two essential network parameters to be given priority in Industrial Wireless Sensor Network. But at the same time it is difficult to achieve gain in these performance metrics. Since in industries these networks are used for monitoring, control and automation processes, therefore, it also requires robust communication with minimum delay. Considering the need of high QoS in Industrial WSN, protocols and standards were developed to fulfil the requirement of reliable data communication in harsh environment. In year 2007, HART community designed a Wireless HART standard for efficient industrial communication. This standard gain high reputation soon after its implementation and still being used as a universal solution for industries. In 2009, another standard ISA100.11a was developed, it also gives promised results but fails to eliminate WHART. Both these standards are still competing in industry and the results of these standards are more reliable in comparison to other wireless industrial protocols that exists.

Recently, the industrial wireless sensor network (WSN) has gained attention as a complement to wired networks due to its flexibility and lower installation cost. We present a novel Reverse Packet Elimination (RPE) algorithm implementation at the IPv6 over the TSCH mode of IEEE 802.15.4e (6TiSCH) stack that increases reliability without significantly increasing energy consumption. RPE increases the reliability while conserving energy by transmitting a cancellation packet from the sink towards the sender to reduce unnecessary packets. The evaluation utilized mainly the 6TiSCH Simulator, with additional analytical assessments. We present several evaluation scenarios and compare WSN with and without RPE. In a WSN where each link had a packet reception rate of 70%, RPE increased the reliability with 11.8%. Furthermore, the average latency decreased with 39.1%. The average energy consumption increased with 19.8% when utilizing RPE. However, the network lifetime, i.e., the time before the first node experiences battery depletion increases slightly, which is a significant improvement compared to alternative replication mechanisms.

This paper aims at designing a Timing Structure Mechanism (TSM) for Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) MAC, with specifying its respective logical topology, especially suitable to the monitoring applications, differentiated and characterized from the existing time bounding strategies, paving for a good performance channel access mechanism. The work proposed in this paper is based on classifying the monitoring applications so as to designing efficient setup and benefiting from the node's capabilities in dividing the network into sub-networks. By evaluating TSM against a cluster-tree IEEE802.15.4 in the two cases of one channel and multi-channel clusters, the simulation results showed that with varying the area, the TSM performs better than the two cases of IEEE802.15.4 in terms of lifetime, end-to-end delay, loss percentage by on average 103.44% and 61.84%, 96.59% and 95.37%, and 88.59% and 87.52%, respectively. Also, in case of increasing the node density, TSM is better in terms of the same parameters by on average 446.58% and 356.05%, 98.04% and 95.62%, and 77.62% and 75.2%, respectively.

Communication through the internet is one of the dominant methods of exchanging information. TCP and UDP are the transport layer protocols responsible for transit of nearly all Internet communications. Due to the growth of real-time audio and video applications, UDP is being used more frequently as a transport protocol, but unlike TCP, UDP has no mechanism for congestion control leading to wasted bandwidth and poor performance, so the DCCP protocol has appeared as a replacement for UDP. In this article, the author performs some simulations using NS2 for Drop Tail and RED queuing models to evaluate the performance of TCP, UDP, DCCP CCID2, and DCCP CCID3 protocols in congested wired networks. The performance metrics used are throughput, end to end delay, number of sent and lost packets. The obtained results show that the DCCP CCID2 performs the best throughput with the minimum of delay as compared to UDP, TCP, and DCCP CCID3.
