    Structure Health Monitoring Using Wireless Sensor Networks on Structural Elements
    (Elsevier Science Bv, 2019-01) Ayyildiz, Cem; Erdem, H. Emre; Dirikgil, Tamer; Dugenci, Oguz; Kocak, Taskin; Altun, Fatih; Gungor, V. Cagri
    This paper presents a system that monitors the health of structural elements in Reinforced Concrete (RC), concrete elements and/or masonry buildings and warn the authorities in case of physical damage formation. Such rapid and reliable detection of impairments enables the development of better risk management strategies to prevent casualties in case of earthquake and floods. Piezoelectric (PZT) sensors with lead zirconate titanate material are the preferred sensor type for fracture detection. The developed sensor mote hardware triggers the PZT sensors and collects the responses they gather from the structural elements. It also sends the collected data to a data center for further processing and analysis in an energy-efficient manner utilizing low-power wireless communication technologies. The access and the analysis of the collected data can be remotely performed via a web interface. Performance results show that the fractures serious enough to cause structural problems can be successfully detected with the developed system. (C) 2018 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    QoS-Aware MAC Protocols Utilizing Sectored Antenna for Wireless Sensor Networks-Based Smart Grid Applications
    (Wiley, 2016-07-25) Yigit, Melike; Incel, Ozlem Durmaz; Baktir, Selcuk; Gungor, V. Cagri; Durmaz Incel, Ozlem
    Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are the most commonly deployed technology in smart grid environments owing to their advantages including low cost and successful adoption in various harsh smart grid environments. However, providing the quality of service (QoS) requirements of smart grid applications with WSNs is difficult because of the power constraints of sensor nodes and unreliable wireless links. In order to meet the QoS requirements of smart grid applications usingWSNs, in this paper, we first propose a QoS-aware omnidirectional antenna-based medium access control (QODA-MAC). Then, in order to investigate the impact of using sectored antennas on meeting QoS requirements, we also propose another QoS-aware four-sectored antenna-based MAC protocol (QFSA-MAC). The aim of the proposed approaches is to increase channel utilization with efficient service differentiation considering traffic flows with different requirements as well as providing reliable and fast delivery of data. We measure the performance of QODA-MAC and QFSA-MAC by making extensive simulations and compare them with each other. The results show that QFSA-MAC outperforms the QODA-MAC protocol and satisfies QoS requirements of smart grid applications by achieving significant improvement in terms of latency, energy consumption and data delivery.

    Power Line Communication Technologies for Smart Grid Applications: A Review of Advances and Challenges
    (Elsevier, 2014-09) Yigit, Melike; Gungor, V. Cagri; Tuna, Gurkan; Rangoussi, Maria; Fadel, Etimad
    This paper investigates the use of Power Line Communication (PLC) for Smart Grid (SG) applications. Firstly, an overview is done to define the characteristics of PLC and PLC-based SG applications are addressed to define the compatibility of PLC. Then, the advantages and disadvantages of PLC for SG applications are analyzed to improve the issues related to PLC. Due to the past standardization problem of PLC, new protocols and standards proposed for PLC are reviewed to see possible solutions toward its standardization. In addition, both completed and ongoing developments in the PLC technologies and their worldwide implementations are reviewed in this study. Finally, open research issues and future works are given.

    Physical Layer Authentication for Extending Battery Life
    (Elsevier, 2021-12) Ayyildiz, Cem; Cetin, Ramazan; Khodzhaev, Zulfidin; Kocak, Taskin; Soyak, Ece Gelal; Gungor, V. Cagri; Kurt, Gunes Karabulut
    Increasing population density in cities, and the increasing demand for efficiency in resource usage call for architectures enabling smart cities, such as the Internet of Things (IoT). In most such scenarios, the data generated by IoT sensors is not confidential, but its integrity is critical. Data integrity can be achieved by establishing certification mechanisms that provide cryptographic message authentication protocols; however, this requires relatively expensive components for storing and processing the encryption key on the sensor and consumes more power while processing and transmitting data, which leads to the renunciation of security issues in cost sensitive deployments. In this paper, we propose a security solution that provides data integrity without draining the batteries of IoT sensors. Our solution consists of, (i) differentiating legitimate sensors by taking advantage of their impurities formed during the manufacturing process of the transceiver components, and (ii) eliminating the complex components that carry out cryptography as well as the redundant packet header fields, thereby yielding power savings. The testbed implementation of the proposed solution yields power measurement results providing an estimate of 2.52 times improvement in battery life without compromising the integrity of communications in the system, in addition to offering an increase in spectral efficiency and a decrease in the overall IoT device cost.

    Lifetime Analysis of Underwater Wireless Networks Concerning Privacy With Energy Harvesting and Compressive Sensing
    (IEEE, 2019-04) Uyan, O. Gokhan; Gungor, V. Cagri
    Underwater sensor networks (UWSN) are a division of classical wireless sensor networks (WSN), which are designed to accomplish both military and civil operations, such as invasion detection and underwater life monitoring. Underwater sensor nodes operate using the energy provided by integrated limited batteries, and it is a serious challenge to replace the battery under the water especially in harsh conditions with a high number of sensor nodes. Here, energy efficiency confronts as a very important issue. Besides energy efficiency, data privacy is another essential topic since UWSN typically generate delicate sensing data. UWSN can be vulnerable to silent positioning and listening, which is injecting similar adversary nodes into close locations to the network to sniff transmitted data. In this paper, we discuss the usage of compressive sensing (CS) and energy harvesting (EH) to improve the lifetime of the network whilst we suggest a novel encryption decision method to maintain privacy of UWSN. We also deploy a Mixed Integer Programming (MIP) model to optimize the encryption decision cases which leads to an improved network lifetime.

    Email Clustering & Generating Email Templates Based on Their Topics
    (Assoc Computing Machinery, 2021-05-27) Coskun, Fatih; Gezer, Cengiz; Gungor, V. Cagri
    Email templates have a significant impact on users in terms of productivity. Using an email template that is produced successfully is going to transfer the main information with a considerable impression. While the previous studies were focused on the email generation by text-differences in the content of the emails, generated templates based on email topics can provide better productivity for the companies. This article proposes a system, in which user emails are clustered according to the topics of the emails, and introduces an email template generation system that utilizes the sample emails belonging to the formed email clusters. For this purpose, the Enron email dataset has been used and the performance of different text preprocessing and topic modeling algorithms, such as DMM, GPU-DMM, GPU-PDMM, LF-DMM, LDA, LF-LDA, BTM, WNTM, PTM, SATM, have been investigated and compared to determine the most efficient one. After obtaining the email topics, the system shows the examples of the emails representing the selected topics and enables the authorized users to create templates that generalize these topics.
