Presentation / Conference Contribution
Wadhaj, I., Ghaleb, B., & Thomson, C. (2021). Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) in Oil and Gas Industry: Applications, Requirements and Existing Solutions. In Proceedings of International Conference on Emerging Technologies and Intelligent Systems ICETIS 2

Effective measurement and monitoring of certain parameters (temperature, pressure, flow etc.) is crucial for the safety and optimization of processes in the Oil and Gas Industry. Wired sensors have been extensively utilized for this purpose but are c... Read More about Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) in Oil and Gas Industry: Applications, Requirements and Existing Solutions.

A Mobility Aware Duty Cycling and Preambling Solution for Wireless Sensor Network with Mobile Sink Node (2021)
Journal Article
Thomson, C., Wadhaj, I., Tan, Z., & Al-Dubai, A. (2021). A Mobility Aware Duty Cycling and Preambling Solution for Wireless Sensor Network with Mobile Sink Node. Wireless Networks, 27(5), 3423-3439. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11276-021-02580-8

Utilising the mobilisation of a sink node in a wireless sensor network to combat the energy hole, or hotspot issue, is well referenced. However, another issue , that of energy spikes may remain. With the mobile sink node potentially communicating wit... Read More about A Mobility Aware Duty Cycling and Preambling Solution for Wireless Sensor Network with Mobile Sink Node.

Towards an Energy Balancing Solution for Wireless Sensor Network with Mobile Sink Node (2021)
Journal Article
Thomson, C., Wadhaj, I., Tan, Z., & Al-Dubai, A. (2021). Towards an Energy Balancing Solution for Wireless Sensor Network with Mobile Sink Node. Computer Communications, 170, 50-64. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.comcom.2021.01.011

The issue of energy holes, or hotspots, in wireless sensor networks is well referenced. As is the proposed mobilisation of the sink node in order to combat this. However, as the mobile sink node may communicate with some nodes more than others, issue... Read More about Towards an Energy Balancing Solution for Wireless Sensor Network with Mobile Sink Node.
