Title
SRCP: Simple Remote Control for Perpetual High-Power Sensor Networks
Abstract
Remote management is essential for wireless sensor networks (WSNs) designed to run perpetually using harvested energy. A natural division of function for managing WSNs is to employ both an in-band data plane to sense, store, process, and forward data, and an out-of-band management plane to remotely control each node and its sensors. This paper presents SRCP , a Simple Remote Control Protocol that forms the core of an out-of-band management plane for WSNs. SRCP is motivated by our target environment: a perpetual deployment of high-power, aggressively duty-cycled nodes capable of handling high-bandwidth sensor data from multiple sensors. The protocol runs on low-power always-on control processors using harvested energy, distills an essential set of primitives, and uses them to control a suite of existing management functions on more powerful main nodes. We demonstrate SRCP's utility by presenting a case study that (i) uses it to control a broad spectrum of management functions and (ii) quantifies its efficacy and performance.
