Instructions

Reading digital theses in the closed network of the Aalto University Harald Herlin Learning Centre

In the closed network of Learning Centre you can read digital and digitized theses not available in the open network.

The Learning Centre contact details and opening hours: https://learningcentre.aalto.fi/en/harald-herlin-learning-centre/

You can read theses on the Learning Centre customer computers, which are available on all floors.

Logging on to the customer computers

  • Aalto University staff members log on to the customer computer using the Aalto username and password.
  • Other customers log on using a shared username and password.

Opening a thesis

  • On the desktop of the customer computers, you will find an icon titled:

    Aalto Thesis Database

  • Click on the icon to search for and open the thesis you are looking for from Aaltodoc database. You can find the thesis file by clicking the link on the OEV or OEVS field.

Reading the thesis

  • You can either print the thesis or read it on the customer computer screen.
  • You cannot save the thesis file on a flash drive or email it.
  • You cannot copy text or images from the file.
  • You cannot edit the file.

Printing the thesis

  • You can print the thesis for your personal study or research use.
  • Aalto University students and staff members may print black-and-white prints on the PrintingPoint devices when using the computer with personal Aalto username and password. Color printing is possible using the printer u90203-psc3, which is located near the customer service. Color printing is subject to a charge to Aalto University students and staff members.
  • Other customers can use the printer u90203-psc3. All printing is subject to a charge to non-University members.

Abstract (eng): The widespread deployment of competitive wireless technologies in the 2.4 GHz unlicensed Industrial, Scientific, Medical (ISM) band has introduced co-existence issues between different wireless devices.
Co-channel interference severely affects the performance of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) that are limited to low transmission power and low data rate.
This problem can be mitigated by searching the candidate channels and choosing ones for operation which provide more reliable connection.

In this thesis, a Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR) estimation algorithm is proposed that can be used by WSNs operating in license free bands in order to rank the channels.
Since the PDR is a function of Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio at receiver node and the traffic pattern of the interferer, receiver node predicts the achievable PDR on each channel according to received signal strength from transmitter node, noise and interference characteristics obtained through spectrum measurements.
Finally, channels are ranked based on achieved estimates.

The PDR estimation algorithm is implemented on the IEEE 802.15.4-based wireless sensor platform in order to assess its performance.
Wireless channels are emulated to model different environments and the accuracy of PDR estimates are observed under different channel conditions.
It is beneficial to minimize the energy consumption of channel scanning by reducing the number of collected samples from the channel, while the desired accuracy is fulfilled for channel ranking purpose.
Hence effect of number of collected samples on performance of estimates is investigated.
The channel ranking method is also evaluated in a real environment to rank IEEE 802.15.4 candidate channels in existence of interference from multiple wireless devices in 2.4 GHz frequency band.
