SensLab and FIT

Participants : Cédric Adjih, Alaeddine Weslati, Vincent Ladeveze.

This is a joint work with Emmanuel Baccelli from Inria Saclay.

Period: 2011 - 2021

Partners: Inria (Lille, Sophia-Antipolis, Grenoble), INSA, UPMC, Institut Télécom Paris, Institut Télécom Evry, LSIIT Strasbourg.

• Deployment: during the year 2013, most of the practical deployment has been planned, designed and realized. A location has been found for the new testbed of the EQUIPEX FIT: the basement of building 1 at Rocquencourt. The preparation of the deployment space, power, GPS and network infrastructures for the deployment of IoT-Lab testbed has been finished: including designing and installing support structures, amenaging space (ventilation, ...), acquiring and installing network equipment, servers, GPS, ...

  The Senslab testbed has been moved to the building 1 and has been integrated into the new platform. Deployment is in a finalization phase and should go in beta testing starting from Q1 2014. The testbed will offer 344 open nodes, including 120 WSN430 nodes, 200 Cortex A8 based nodes, 24 Cortex M3.

• Support of external projects: Support for RIOT-OS and OpenWSN projects has been developed for IoT-Lab hardware and is being tested.

  • RIOT-OS, a joint work between Inria and FU-Berlin to create an Operating System for the Internet of Things.

  • OpenWSN, an open-source protocol stack for Internet of Things developed by UC Berkley.

  • IoT-Lab hardware based on STM stm32f1 series ARM Cortex-M3 MCU and Atmel AT86RF231 radio transceiver.

Software

NS3

Participants : Cédric Adjih, Hana Baccouch.

Ey-Wifi, Elimination-Yield for WiFi networks, is a module developed for the ns-3 simulation tool to integrate the features of the EY-NPMA channel access scheme. EY-NPMA (Elimination-Yield Non-Pre-emptive Priority Multiple Access) is a contention based protocol using active signaling (black burst): a node requests access to the medium by transmitting a burst signal. More precisely, the channel access cycle comprises three phases: priority phase, elimination phase and yield phase.

This software was developped thanks to the ADT MOBSIM.

The Ey-Wifi module has been publically released and is available, along with a detailed tutorial explaining how to use it, at: http://hipercom.inria.fr/Ey-Wifi

OPERA

Participants : Cédric Adjih, Ichrak Amdouni, Pascale Minet, Saoucene Ridene, Ridha Soua.

The OPERA software was developed by the Hipercom2 team in the OCARI project. They include EOLSR, an energy efficient routing protocol and OSERENA, a coloring algorithm optimized for dense wireless networks. OPERA was registered by the APP. In 2013, OPERA has been made available for download as an open software from the InriaGForge site: https://gforge.inria.fr/scm/?group_id=4665

More details and documentation about this software are available in the website made by the Hipercom2 team: http://opera.gforge.inria.fr/index.html
