Wavescope: An Adaptive Wireless Sensor Network System for High Data-Rate Applications

Overview

WaveScope seeks to advance the state-of-the-art in wireless sensor networks in three related directions:

By developing a general-purpose information processing architecture that combines continuous query processing and signal processing on sensor data streams.
By developing general-purpose in-network processing algorithms that adapt to prevailing network conditions. Two classes of algorithms are of special interest: probabilistic model-based algorithms and wavelet-based signal processing. Both classes of algorithms allow fine-grained control over how much data is transmitted from a node.
By developing a multi-hop wireless data delivery system that integrates channel access and congestion control for efficient and fair network resource allocation.
