  • Sensor-network processors using event-driven architecture
    Patent number: 7788332
    Abstract: Event-driven processor architectures are particularly suited for use in multiple sensor node networks and simulators of such networks. A first variation of the processor is particularly suited for use in a sensor node in a wireless sensor network. Through use of the event-driven architecture and special message and timing coprocessors, this embodiment of the invention is optimized for low energy requirements and data monitoring operations in sensor networks. A second embodiment of the invention includes modifications necessary for use of the processor in a network simulation protocol.
    Type: Grant

  • EVENT-SYNCHRONIZATION PROTOCOL FOR PARALLEL SIMULATION OF LARGE-SCALE WIRELESS NETWORKS
    Publication number: 20090187395
    Abstract: An event synchronization protocol called time-based synchronization (TBS) is employed to control operation of a network simulation. In TBS, processors in the simulated network execute events based on comparisons between timestamps for each event and a value generated by a time tracking device in the processor. In this manner, event execution is not dependent on other processes in the network and the simulation can actually be carried out at speeds faster than real time. A multiprocessor network is specially designed to execute TBS-based simulations.
