Abstract
E-SCALE, Energy-efficient Scalable sensor Coverage with cell-phone Apps using LTE, is a newly adopted approach to provide large scale sensor coverage using cell phones and cellular network infrastructure. The focus of this thesis is to propose the idea of E-SCALE, extend it through simulations to determine how E-SCALE and its traffic can impact the key performance indices of the backbone network, i.e., LTE in this case. E-SCALE addresses the problem of providing occasional sensor coverage in a public area that occasionally hosts a large number of people. Since, investing for permanent sensor network based surveillance infrastructure in such places involves fairly large amount of money. Thus, E-SCALE is conceived for providing on-the-fly safety surveillance for occasional crowd. In our simulation we have taken LTE as the backbone infrastructure essential for E-SCALE. Our simulation results shows that a large area occupied by a crowd can be taken under environmental and safety surveillance monitoring by simply using the cell phones’ sensors of the people gathered over the concerned area. E-SCALE can also take care of the battery power saving of the audience’s cell phones to make it an energy-efficient technique. Smart phones are mostly equipped with hi-end sensor systems like temperature sensors, toxic-gas-sensors and likewise many more to be expected in near future. Hence, without any requirement of explicit sensors deployment for say, fire-safety, air-pollution, toxic gas detection, etc., a large area with gathering of people can be monitored continually, effectively and that’s too in an energy efficient way.This thesis reports detail simulation results how this sensor data traffic could affect the LTE network performance. Another effort is made to reduce the battery power consumption of the user equipment so that the guests can freely use applications other than E-SCALE during the gatherings and the user equipment do not suffer from drainage of high battery power. Thus, E-SCALE is a scalable and energy efficient way for sensor coverage provisioning through crowd sensing in a smart space.
