WHAT IS ICWCS???

In-cave Wireless Communication System

(ICWCS) is a Wireless Multimedia Sensor
Network (WMSN) based architecture used
to communicate within a cave

nodes
A multimedia sensor node is
composed of the following
components:

 Sensing unit

 Processing unit (CPU)

 Communication sub system

 Storage unit (memory)

NODE
 3/21/11
ICWCS has two kinds of
nodes:
 BACKBONE NODES(BN) which are mounted on the walls of
the caves

 MOBILE NODES (MN) which are similar to cell

phones carried by team members

Ø In addition to these nodes there is a directory service

which usually runs on a computer outside the cave, stores
IDs of BN, MN and user information.

1. DEPLOYMENT: WSN can be deployed manually or
randomly using the Received Signal Strength Indicator
(RSSI) functionality of the BNs

2. INITIAL SETUP AND ROUTING: routing tables of

the
BNs are used to exchange topology information. Link
state
routing algorithm is used for routing calls. Age column
values
in the routing tables are used to detect dead BNs

3. MOBILE NODE REGISTRATION: each MN must

4. CALL MANAGEMENT: there is a Mobile Node
Connection
table present on the directory service. A MN retrieves a
list
of the online users from this table and shows the
information to
the user.

5. BROKEN LINK DETECTION AND RECOVERY: to

provide uninterrupted connectivity a dead BN should be
detected and its operation must be resumed by either

CONCLUSION

 Reliable
voice communication can be provided using
WMSN in RF challenged indoor environment

 Two different types of sensor nodes were used,

their design was based on VF1A sensor node

 This
ICWCS is a point-to-point communication, it is
being improved to have multicast and broadcast
capabilities
