Especially in office environments many devices (e.g., printers) are very rarely turned off, because they need to be available from time to time and because it is inconvenient having to switch them on and off manually. Existing solutions, such as Wake-on-LAN (WoL), provide support for managing the power consumption of the network devices remotely using an always-on data channel. However, these solutions are inefficient, because power to the network interface has to be maintained even when the host system is asleep just to ensure remote accessibility. We propose a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) based out-of-band signaling architecture for network interfaces which minimizes the systems’ power consumption during the large idle periods when nobody is using them. This is done by separating the data and control channels on the Internet-enabled devices using a low-power out-of-band signaling channel based on battery driven, energy scavenging devices. Unlike existing solutions, which only allow parts of the system to go in sleep modes, our architecture allows the whole system, including the main power supply, to be shut down. Our initial investigation indicates a significant reduction in energy consumption of devices during idle times compared to the existing in-band signaling mechanisms such as WoL.}, keywords = {Energy Saving, Wireless Sensor Network, Out-of-Band Signalling}, url = {https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2011/2011-vaegs-fgsn-ecocom.pdf}, misc2 = {Online}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 10th GI/ITG KuVS Fachgespr{\"a}ch Drahtlose Sensornetze (FGSN), Paderborn, Germany}, institution = {RWTH Aachen University}, event_place = {Paderborn, Germany}, event_name = {10th GI/ITG KuVS Fachgespr{\"a}ch Drahtlose Sensornetze (FGSN11)}, event_date = {September 15-16, 2011}, language = {en}, reviewed = {1}, author = {Vaegs, Tobias and Alizai, Muhammad Hamad and Bitsch Link, J{\'o} Agila and Wehrle, Klaus} } @Inproceedings { 2011-wintech-alizai-tinywifi, title = {TinyWifi: Making Network Protocol Evaluation Portable Across Multiple Phy-Link Layers}, year = {2011}, month = {9}, pages = {19-27}, tags = {tinywifi}, url = {fileadmin/papers/2011/2010-09-tinywifi-alizai-wintech.pdf}, misc2 = {Online}, publisher = {ACM}, address = {New York, NY, USA}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the Sixth ACM International Workshop on Wireless Network Testbeds, Experimental evaluation and Characterization (WiNTECH ), Las Vegas, NV, USA}, event_place = {Las Vegas, NV, USA}, event_name = {The 17th Annual International Conference on Mobile Computing and Networking}, event_date = {September 2011}, language = {en}, ISBN = {978-1-4503-0867-0}, DOI = {10.1145/2030718.2030725}, reviewed = {1}, author = {Alizai, Muhammad Hamad and Wirtz, Hanno and Kirchen, Bernhard and Vaegs, Tobias and Gnawali, Omprakash and Wehrle, Klaus} } @Inproceedings { 2011-iscc-alizai-ble, title = {Efficient Online Estimation of Bursty Wireless Links}, year = {2011}, month = {6}, url = {fileadmin/papers/2011/2011-alizai-iscc-ble.pdf}, misc2 = {Online}, publisher = {IEEE Computer Society}, address = {Los Alamitos, CA, USA}, booktitle = {16th IEEE Symposium on Computers and Communications (ISCC), Kerkyra, Greece}, event_place = {Kerkyra, Greece}, language = {en}, ISBN = {978-1-4577-0678-3}, DOI = {10.1109/ISCC.2011.5983839}, reviewed = {1}, author = {Alizai, Muhammad Hamad and Wirtz, Hanno and Kunz, Georg and Grap, Benjamin and Wehrle, Klaus} } @Inproceedings { 2011-ipsn-alizai-pad, title = {Probabilistic Addressing: Stable Addresses in Unstable Wireless Networks}, year = {2011}, month = {4}, url = {fileadmin/papers/2011/2011-ipsn-alizai-pad.pdf}, misc2 = {Online}, publisher = {ACM}, address = {New York, NY, USA}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 10th ACM/IEEE International Conference on Information Processing in Sensor Networks (IPSN 2011), Chicago, IL, USA}, event_place = {Chicago, IL, USA}, language = {en}, ISBN = {978-1-60558-988-6}, reviewed = {1}, author = {Alizai, Muhammad Hamad and Vaegs, Tobias and Landsiedel, Olaf and G{\"o}tz, Stefan and Bitsch Link, J{\'o} Agila and Wehrle, Klaus} } @Inproceedings { 2010-sensys-alizai-tinywifi, title = {Poster Abstract: TinyOS Meets Wireless Mesh Networks}, year = {2010}, month = {11}, pages = {429-430}, abstract = {We present TinyWifi, a nesC code base extending TinyOS to support Linux powered network nodes.

In this paper, we present Statistical Vector Routing (SVR), a virtual coordinates based addressing and routing mechanism that efficiently deals with dynamic communication links in wireless networks. It assigns stable probabilistic addresses to nodes without the need to pessimistically estimate links over longer periods of time. The routing metric predicts the current location of a node in its address distribution.

A main challenge is to detect bugs that occur due to non-deterministic events, such as node reboots or packet duplicates.

In this paper, we present KleeNet, a debugging environment that effectively discovers such bugs before deployment. KleeNet executes unmodified sensor network applications on symbolic input and automatically injects non-deterministic failures. As a result, KleeNet generates distributed execution paths at high-coverage, including low-probability corner-case situations.

In this paper we introduce Dynamic TinyOS to enable the dynamic exchange of software components and thus incrementally update the operating system and its applications. The core idea is to preserve the modularity of TinyOS, i.e. its componentization, which is lost during the normal compilation process, and enable runtime composition of TinyOS components on the sensor node. The proposed solution integrates seamlessly into the system architecture of TinyOS: It does not require any changes to the programming model of TinyOS and existing components can be reused transparently.

However, today only cycle accurate emulation and test-beds provide a detailed and accurate insight into the temporal behavior of sensor networks. In this paper we introduce fine grained, automated instrumentation of simulation models with cycle counts derived from sensor nodes and application binaries to provide detailed timing information. The presented approach bridges the gap between scalable but abstracting simulation and cycle accurate emulation for sensor network evaluation. By mapping device-specific code with simulation models, we can derive the time and duration a certain code line takes to get executed on a sensor node. Hence, eliminating the need to use expensive instruction-level emulators with limited speed and restricted scalability. Furthermore, the proposed design is not bound to a specific hardware platform, a major advantage compared to existing emulators. Our evaluation shows that the proposed technique achieves a timing accuracy of 99\% compared to emulation while adding only a small overhead. Concluding, it combines essential properties like accuracy, speed and scalability on a single simulation platform.}, url = {fileadmin/papers/2008/2008-04-IPSN-2008-landsiedel-Timing-Matters.pdf}, misc2 = {Print}, publisher = {IEEE Computer Society}, address = {Washington, DC, USA}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 7th ACM International Conference on Information Processing in Sensor Networks (IPSN 2008), St. Louis, MO, USA}, language = {en}, ISBN = {978-0-7695-3157-1}, reviewed = {1}, author = {Landsiedel, Olaf and Alizai, Muhammad Hamad and Wehrle, Klaus} } @Techreport { 200908munawarfgsndynamictinyos, title = {Remote Incremental Adaptation of Sensor Network Applications}, year = {2009}, month = {9}, pages = {9-12}, url = {fileadmin/papers/2009/2009-08-munawar-fgsn-dynamic-tinyos.pdf}, web_url = {http://doku.b.tu-harburg.de/volltexte/2009/581/pdf/proceedings.pdf}, misc2 = {Print}, publisher = {Technical University Hamburg}, address = {Technical University Hamburg}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 8th GI/ITG KuVS Fachgespr{\"a}ch ''Wireless Sensor Networks'', Hamburg, Germany}, institution = {Technical University Hamburg}, language = {en}, author = {Munawar, Waqaas and Landsiedel, Olaf and Alizai, Muhammad Hamad and Wehrle, Klaus} } @Techreport { 200908alizaifgsnburstyrouting, title = {Routing Over Bursty Wireless Links}, year = {2009}, month = {9}, pages = {63-66}, abstract = {Accurate estimation of link quality is the key to enable efficient routing in wireless sensor networks. Current link estimators focus mainly on identifying long-term stable links for routing, leaving out a potentiality large set of intermediate links offering significant routing progress. Fine-grained analysis of link qualities reveals that such intermediate links are bursty, i.e., stable in the short term. In this paper, we use short-term estimation of wireless links to accurately identify short-term stable periods of transmission on bursty links. Our approach allows a routing protocol to forward packets over bursty links if they offer better routing progress than long-term stable links. We integrate a Short Term Link Estimator and its associated routing strategy with a standard routing protocol for sensor networks. Our evaluation reveals an average of 22\% reduction in the overall transmissions when routing over long-range bursty links. Our approach is not tied to any special routing protocol and integrates seamlessly with existing routing protocols and link estimators.}, tags = {wld}, url = {fileadmin/papers/2009/2009-08-alizai-fgsn-bursty-routing.pdf}, web_url = {doku.b.tu-harburg.de/volltexte/2009/581/pdf/proceedings.pdf}, misc2 = {Print}, publisher = {Technical University Hamburg}, address = {Technical University Hamburg}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 8th GI/ITG KuVS Fachgespr{\"a}ch ''Wireless Sensor Networks'', Hamburg, Germany}, language = {en}, reviewed = {1}, author = {Alizai, Muhammad Hamad and Landsiedel, Olaf and Bitsch Link, J{\'o} Agila and G{\"o}tz, Stefan and Wehrle, Klaus} } @Techreport { 2008-fgsn-sasnauskas-kleenet, title = {Bug Hunting in Sensor Network Applications}, year = {2008}, month = {9}, abstract = {Testing sensor network applications is an essential and a difficult task.

Upon finding a bug, KleeNet generates a concrete test case with real input values identifying a specific error path in a program. Additionally, we show that KleeNet integrates well into TinyOS application development life cycle with minimum manual effort, making it easy for developers to test their applications.}, tags = {kleenet}, url = {fileadmin/papers/2008/2008-09-Sasnauskas-FGSN08-BugHunting.pdf}, web_url = {ftp://ftp.inf.fu-berlin.de/pub/reports/tr-b-08-12.pdf}, misc2 = {Print}, publisher = {Freie Universit{\"a}t Berlin, Institute of Computer Science}, address = {Berlin, Germany}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 7th GI/ITG Fachgespraech Wireless Sensor Networks, Berlin, Germany}, institution = {Chair of Communication and Distributed Systems (ComSys)}, language = {en}, reviewed = {1}, author = {Sasnauskas, Raimondas and Bitsch Link, J{\'o} Agila and Alizai, Muhammad Hamad and Wehrle, Klaus} } @Techreport { 2008-fgsn-alizai-stle, title = {Challenges in Short-term Wireless Link Quality Estimation}, year = {2008}, month = {7}, pages = {27-30}, tags = {wld}, url = {fileadmin/papers/2008/2008-08-alizai-fgsn-stle.pdf}, web_url = {ftp://ftp.inf.fu-berlin.de/pub/reports/tr-b-08-12.pdf}, misc2 = {Print}, publisher = {Fachbereich Mathematik und Informatik}, address = {Berlin, Germany}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 7th GI/ITG Workshop on Wireless Sensor Networks}, event_name = {FGSN 08}, event_date = {September 2010}, language = {en}, reviewed = {1}, author = {Alizai, Muhammad Hamad and Landsiedel, Olaf and Wehrle, Klaus and Becher, Alexander} } @Techreport { 2007-fgsn-alizai-timetossim, title = {Accurate Timing in Sensor Network Simulations}, year = {2007}, month = {7}, url = {fileadmin/papers/2008/2007-07-fgsn-alizai-accurate-timing.pdf}, web_url = {https://www.ds-group.info/events/fgsn07/fgsn07proc.pdf}, misc2 = {Print}, publisher = {RWTH Aachen}, address = {Aachen, Germany}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 6th GI/ITG KuVS Workshop on Wireless Sensor Networks (FGSN 07)}, institution = {RWTH Aachen}, event_place = {Aachen, Germany}, event_name = {FGSN 07}, event_date = {July 2007}, language = {en}, author = {Alizai, Muhammad Hamad and Landsiedel, Olaf and Wehrle, Klaus} }
