Critical issues
• Highly constrained devices
– power, storage, bandwidth, energy, visibility
– primitive I/O hierarchy
• Observation and action inherently distributed
– many small nodes coordinate and cooperate on overall task
• The structure of the SYSTEM changes
• Devices ARE the infrastructure
– ad hoc, self-organized network of sensors
• Highly dynamic

A Operating System for Tiny Devices?
• Traditional approaches
– command processing loop (wait request, act, respond)
– monolithic event processing
– bring full thread/socket posix regime to platform
• Alternative
– provide framework for concurrency and modularity
– never poll, never block
– interleaving flows, events, energy management
=> allow appropriate abstractions to emerge

Maintaining Scheduling Agility
• Need logical concurrency at many levels of the
graph
• While meeting hard timing constraints
– sample the radio in every bit window
Retain event-driven structure throughout
application
Tasks extend processing outside event window
All operations are non-blocking
lock-free scheduling queue

Low-Power Listening
• Costs about as much to listen as to xmit, even
when nothing is received
• Must turn radio off when there is nothing to hear.
• Time-slotting and rendezvous cost BW and
Latency
• Can turn radio on/of in <1 bit
Small sub-msg recv sampling
Trade small, infrequent
tx cost for freq. Rx savings

Exposing Time Synchronization Up
• Many applications require correlated data
sampling
• Distributed time sync accuracy bounded by ½
the variance in RTT.
• Successful radio transmission requires sub-bit
synchronization
Provide accurate timestamping with msg
delivery
Jitter < 0.1us (propagation) + 0.25 us (edge
capture accuracy) + 0.625 us (clock synch)
5/13/2002

28
Localization
• Many applications need to
derive physical placement
from observations
– Spatial sampling, proximity,
context-awareness
• Radio is another sensor
• Sample baseband to
estimate distance
– Need a lot of statistical data
– Calibration and multipleobservations are key

Understanding Connectivity
• 16 transmit power settings
• For each transmit power setting,
each node transmits 20 packets.
• Receivers log successfully
received packets.
• Nodes transmit one after the other
in a token-ring fashion
• No collisions.
• Define “range”: radius where 75%
of enclosed nodes receive 75% of
packets
• Often good nodes at a distance
probability of reception from center
node vs xmit strength
5/13/2002
TinyOS IPAM
43
Importance of Asymmetric Links
• Asymmetric Link:
– >65% successful reception in one direction
– <25% successful reception in the other direction
• 10%-25% of links are asymmetric
• Many long links are asymmetric
– in large field it is likely that someone far away can hear you
– what does this mean for protocol design?
5/13/2002
TinyOS IPAM
44
Collisions are primary factor
• Nodes out of range may have overlapping cells
– hidden terminal effect
• Collisions => these nodes hear neither ‘parent’
– become stragglers
• As the tree propagates
– folds back on itself
– rebounds from the edge
– picking up these stragglers.
• Seen in many experiments
• Mathematically complex because behavior is not
independent beyond singe cell
5/13/2002
TinyOS IPAM
45
Stragglers
• significant fraction of links point ‘backwards’
5/13/2002
TinyOS IPAM
46
Minimal lessons learned
• Don’t think about wireless networks as bunch of
circles of radius r
– connectivity is a probability distribution
– falls off with distance, but not as simple fading law
– shape varies with time and context
• With large, dense arrays the low-probability
events are common
• Must strike a balance in exploiting structure and
adapting to observed behavior
• Want simple local rules that have predictable,
robust global behavior
5/13/2002
TinyOS IPAM
47
More typical routing for sensor nets
• Current applications dominated by data
acquisition
– route from many nodes to nearest gateway
– aggregate from many nodes
– routing determined by simple local rules
• Nodes listen to data transfers from neighbors
–
–
–
–
–
carries hop-count info
monitors link goodness of potential ‘parents’
dynamically selects best node is lesser hop count
includes hysterisis and continuous rediscovery
gateways emit null data with 0-hop
• Much to understand about how such algorithms
manage major change

Multihop Bandwidth Management
• Should self-organize into fair, dynamic multihop net
• Hidden nodes between each pair of “levels”
– CSMA is not enough
• P[msg-to-base] drops with each hop
– Investment in packet increases with distance
– need to optimize for low-power fairness!
• RTS/CTS costly (power & BW)
 Local rate control to approx. fairness
 Priority to forwarding, adjust own data rate
 Additive increase, multiplicative decrease
 Listen for retransmission as ack

Key Experience
• Really good at building tinyOS subsystems
– non-blocking, split-phase event structures
• Internalized the “state of constant change”
paradigm
– ex: maintain routing tree by constantly rebuilding it
– soft state that is always suspect
– simple one-way protocols
• Operating in the aggregate
• Simple mechanisms to accomplish large goals
– MAC, ATC
• Out of the box on networking abstractions
– Low-power listen, wake-up, statistical sampling, weighted
aggregation
• Understanding of large scale dynamics

Rich set of additional challenges
• Efficient and robust security primitives
• Density independent wake-up, aggregation
– sensor => can use radio in ‘analog’ mode
• Resilient aggregators
• Programming support for systems of generalized
state machines
• Programming the unstructured aggregate
– SPMD, Data Parallel, Query Processing, Tuples
• Understanding how an extreme system is
behaving and what is its envelope
– adversarial simulation
• Self-configuring, self-correcting systems

• Each major generation is increasingly smaller, more deeply
interactive, arrives when previous is at its strength
• Vast majority of computing will be small, embedded, devices
