Item Smart Irrigation System Using Cloud and Internet of Things(Springer, 2019) Koduru, K.; Padala, V.G.D.P.R.; Padala, P.An intensive utilization of water resources in industries, agriculture, and groundwater consumption by humans for various purposes has degraded the water levels. A focus on effective utilization of water resources with simplified irrigation across different agricultural farms is required with the advancement of technology. This paper presents a framework based on cloud and Internet of things for implementing a smart irrigation system. Based on the defined framework, a use case for automated smart irrigation system is developed and a competent mechanism is defined for effective utilization of excessive water generated from showers to increase the groundwater levels. The use case provides flexibility to farmers for monitoring the farms in real time using the farmer’s cockpit. Here, heterogeneous devices are firmly integrated to empower smart irrigation and to monitor the system in real time. The use case actuation and automation are done based on certain imposed constraints to respond as per inputs and outputs generated by various devices installed in smart irrigation system. © 2019, Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.Item Impact of internet of things in smart cities(Institution of Engineering and Technology, 2020) Rudra, B.A smart city uses various technologies to make the lives more easy and simple fulfilling the demands of the increasing population. Internet of Things (IoT) plays a major role in making the city smart. It takes the required input and helps to make the things associated with it smart. Some of the smart operations include water and energy management which is becoming scarce. The system can be deployed in the cities to make things work and save future resources. A smart city can be empowered to increase the quality of life of the people and improve the environment to sustain for a long time.

With the evolution of the Internet, it is now possible to connect every object or thing in the physical world. These things can communicate and also perform computations. It is now possible for humans to communicate with the physical things around us. This leads us to explore a whole new technology called Cyber Physical System (CPS). CPS combines computation, communication and control technologies in order to integrate the existing networked systems and embedded systems. It has modules to perform accurate data acquisition. These modules are basically distributed devices. Further the acquired data is sent to a layer of information processing as per the service requirements. There are enormous applications of CPS namely: digital medical devices, autonomous vehicles, robotic systems, intelligent highways, aerospace systems, industry automation, building and environment control and physical process control. Among the listed applications, autonomous transportation is evolving through the ongoing research trends. In autonomous transportation systems, there is a high requirement for reliable communication between the communicating entities, accurate data acquisition and processing and high computing capabilities. Thus CPS is a novel engineering system that can suit the requirements of autonomous transportation. In this chapter we discuss the evolution of CPS and its role in future autonomous transportation. We explore the research challenges in the CPS based on autonomous transportation. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.Item Energy efficient and reliable network design to improve lifetime of low power IoT networks(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2017) Sarwesh, P.; Shekar, N.; Shet, V.; Chandrasekaran, K.Internet of Things is smart technology that is used in wide range of applications, IoT converges physical devices with cyber systems to facilitate global information sharing. In IoT network, devices are constrained by energy (limited by battery power). Thus, efficient energy utilization is the major challenge in low power IoT networks. In this paper, energy efficient and reliable network architecture is proposed to improve the lifetime of IoT networks. In proposed network architecture, routing technique and node placement technique are effectively integrated to address energy and reliability related issues. In node placement technique, density of sensor nodes are hierarchically varied to balance the energy consumption and reliability related parameters are included in routing mechanism. Hence, effective combination of these two techniques in single network architecture prolongs the lifetime of the network. In proposed work, sensor nodes and relay nodes, sensors do sensing and relay nodes handles path computation and data transmission. We included IEEE 802.15.4 PHY/MAC radio and IPv6 module in proposed work to adopt IoT Scenario. From our results, it is observed that proposed architecture prolongs the lifetime of low power IoT network. © 2017 IEEE.Item Novel schemes for energy-efficient IoT(Springer Verlag service@springer.de, 2019) Venkateshwarlu, K.; Shetty D, D.Internet of things (IoT) is a global infrastructure for the information society which enables advanced services by interconnecting physical and virtual things based on existing and evolving inter-operable information and communication technologies. Developing green IoT is a difficult task because IoT has more devices and has complex structure, so most of the current schemes for deploying nodes in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) cannot be applied directly in IoT. In this paper, we propose a scheme which gives an energy-efficient IoT. Here, we propose two schemes for framework structure of a network, and then we propose clustering algorithms and routing algorithms for network formation which is based on minimum spanning tree. After numerous simulations, we show that these schemes result in minimal energy consumption and enhance the network lifetime. Thus, the proposed schemes are more energy-efficient compared to a typical WSN deployment scheme; hence, these schemes are applicable to the green IoT deployment. We show that in the proposed schemes, the nodes are alive for more number of rounds as compared to the existing algorithms. © 2019, Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.Item Analysis of the Standard Objective Functions of RPL(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2022) Kamble, S.; Chandavarkar, B.R.Low power and Lossy Network (LLN) is a network widely used to connect objects nowadays, and routing in such type of network is a new research area to work. ROLL-WG developed a routing protocol for LLN called Routing Protocol for low power and lossy network (RPL). Here, the Objective Function (OF) defines the way the node should select the parent node. The two standard OFs are OF-0, and MRHOF developed in 2010 and 2012. The paper explains these OFs and presents the experimental results of the two OFs in Contiki-3.0. The experiments were carried out by varying the number of nodes and varying data rates. The experimental results show that due to low hop count and fewer nodes getting involved in OF-0, it performs better than MRHOF, as MRHOF requires more stable links to transmit the data. Thus, OF-0 is useful in the scenarios where there are fewer nodes, and the destination is closer. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.Item En-Route Filtering Techniques in Wireless Sensor Networks: A Survey(Springer New York LLC barbara.b.bertram@gsk.com, 2017) Kumar, A.; Pais, A.R.Majority of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are deployed in unattended environments and thus sensor nodes can be compromised easily. A compromised sensor node can be used to send fake sensing reports to the sink. If undetected these reports can raise false alarms. To deal with the problem of fake report generation, a number of en-route filtering schemes have been proposed. Each of these schemes uses different cryptographic methods to check the authenticity of reports while they are being forwarded hop by hop toward base station. However, majority of these techniques can handle only limited compromised nodes or they either need node localization or statically configured routes for sending reports. Furthermore, majority of en-route filtering techniques are vulnerable to various denial of service attacks. Our main aims in this survey are: (a) to describe the major en-route filtering techniques, (b) to analyze these techniques on various parameters including security and (c) to outline main unresolved research challenges in en-route filtering in WSNs. © 2017, Springer Science+Business Media New York.Item Effective integration of reliable routing mechanism and energy efficient node placement technique for low power IoT networks(IGI Global cust@igi-global.com, 2017) Sarwesh, P.; Shet, N.S.V.; Chandrasekaran, K.Internet of Things (IoT) is the emerging technology that links physical devices (sensor devices) with cyber systems and allows global sharing of information. In IoT applications, devices are operated by battery power and low power radio links, which are constrained by energy. In this paper, node placement technique and routing mechanism are effectively integrated in single network architecture to prolong the lifetime of IoT network. In proposed network architecture, sensor node and relay node are deployed, sensor nodes are responsible for collecting the environmental data and relay nodes are responsible for data aggregation and path computation. In node placement technique, densities of relay nodes are varied based on traffic area, to prevent energy hole problem. In routing technique, energy efficient and reliable path computation is done to reduce number of re transmissions. To adopt IoT scenario, we included IEEE 802.15.4 PHY/MAC radio and IPv6 packet structure in proposed network architecture. Proposed work result shows, proposed architecture prolongs network lifetime. © © 2017, IGI Global.Item ETRT – Cross layer model for optimizing transmission range of nodes in low power wireless networks – An Internet of Things Perspective(Elsevier B.V., 2018) Sarwesh, P.; Shet, N.S.V.; Chandrasekaran, K.Internet of Things network is managed by battery operated devices and low power radio links since they are referred to low power networks. In present communication era, many research works are concentrating on low power wireless network. Cross layer design is one of the acclaimed technique that decidedly improves the network performance. In this article, we come up with the cross-layer model that satisfies distinct network requirements and prolongs network lifetime. It integrates physical layer, data link layer (Media Access Control) and network layer in the protocol stack. In our model, a threshold value called ETRT (Expected Transmission Range Threshold) is introduced, which is computed with the help of routing information. Later, MAC based power control technique utilizes the ETRT value and assigns optimum transmission range for every node. The idea at the heels of proposed cross layer model is estimating the capability (ETRT value) of the particular node and assigning the suitable transmission power for every node, based on its capability (ETRT value). Hence, assigning optimum transmission power based on ETRT information prolongs the network lifetime with better reliability and Quality of Service(QoS). From our results, it is noticed that the ETRT based cross layer model performs twice better than the standard model. © 2018 Elsevier B.V.Item A novel key exchange algorithm for security in internet of things(Institute of Advanced Engineering and Science info@iaesjournal.com, 2019) Koduru, K.; Reddy, P.V.G.D.P.; Preethi, P.Today Internet of things (IoT) interconnects any object possessing sensing and computing capabilities to the internet. In this era, increasing number of electronic devices and applications in Internet of Things (IoT) requires secured communication with low power consumption capabilities. As security is a major challenge in internet of things, it is important to design a key management solution that considers resource constrained nodes and hence key management in public key cryptography is a crucial issue. In this paper, a novel key exchange algorithm was developed and implemented on a low powered “Raspberry pi machine” to realize the overall impact it creates on the device. The performance of the proposed algorithm had shown a great improvement over the popular Diffie Hellman key exchange algorithm and a two-level security for data exchange between the parties is implemented. © © 2019 Institute of Advanced Engineering and Science.
