    MGRP: Mobile Sinks-Based QoS-Aware Data Gathering Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks-Based Smart Grid Applications in the Context of Industry 4.0-Based on Internet of Things
    (Elsevier Science Bv, 2018-05) Faheem, Muhammad; Gungor, V. C.
    The recent advances in internet of things (IoT) and industrial wireless sensor networks (IWSNs) paradigm provide a promising opportunity for upgrading todays elderly electricity industrial systems and even allow the fourth stage of the industrial revolution, referred to as smart grid industry (SGI) 4.0. In SGI 4.0 paradigm, the WSNs are considered as promising solutions due to their advantages, such as cable replacement, ease of deployment, flexibility, and cost reduction. However, harsh and complex smart grid (SG) environments pose great challenges to guarantee reliable communication for WSNs-based SG applications due to equipment noise, electromagnetic interference, multipath effects and fading in SG environments. This results in deteriorating the quality-of-service (QoS) requirements as well as the network lifetime of multi-hop communication-based WSNs for SG applications. Thus, for SGI 4.0 paradigm to come true, a WSN-based highly reliable communication infrastructure is crucial that will wirelessly connect and integrate power system components for more efficient, reliable, and intelligent operations of the next-generation electricity power grids. To address these challenges, in this paper a novel multi-mobile sinks-based QoS-aware data gathering protocol (called MQRP) for WSNs-based SG applications has been proposed to empower SGI 4.0. The extensive simulations study is carried through a network simulation tool called EstiNet9.0. The obtained experimental facts show that the proposed scheme has not only improved the QoS performance metrics, such as packet delivery ratio, memory utilization, control message overhead, residual energy, network lifetime, and throughput, but also reduced packet error rate and end-to-end delay compared to existing data collection schemes.

    Lifetime Maximization of IoT-Enabled Smart Grid Applications Using Error Control Strategies
    (Elsevier, 2024-12) Tekin, Nazli; Dedeturk, Bilge Kagan; Gungor, Vehbi Cagri
    Recently, with the advancement of Internet of Things (IoT) technology, IoT-enabled Smart Grid (SG) applications have gained tremendous popularity. Ensuring reliable communication in IoT-based SG applications is challenging due to the harsh channel environment often encountered in the power grid. Error Control (EC) techniques have emerged as a promising solution to enhance reliability. Nevertheless, ensuring network reliability requires a substantial amount of energy consumption. In this paper, we formulate a Mixed Integer Programming (MIP) model which considers the energy dissipation of EC techniques to maximize IoT network lifetime while ensuring the desired level of IoT network reliability. We develop meta-heuristic approaches such as Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) to address the high computation complexity of large-scale IoT networks. Performance evaluations indicate that the EC-Node strategy, where each IoT node employs the most energy-efficient EC technique, yields a minimum of 8.9% extended lifetimes compared to the EC-Net strategies, where all IoT nodes employ the same EC method for a communication. Moreover, the PSO algorithm reduces the computational time by 77% while exhibiting a 2.69% network lifetime decrease compared to the optimal solution.

    High Spatial Resolution IoT Based Air PM Measurement System
    (Springer, 2021-04-12) Icoz, Ebru; Malik, Fasih M.; Icoz, Kutay
    Air pollution is one of the global problems of the current era. According to World Health Organization more than 80% of the people living in metropolitan areas breathe air which exceeds the guideline limits. Particulate matter, the mixture of liquid and solid particles having diameters less than 10 mu m, is one of the important pollutants in the air. The main source of the Particulate matter is mostly burning reactions associated with industry, vehicles and homes. Several studies have shown the lethal impact of particulate matter to public health and environment. The rise of particulate matter amount in air has been linked to several health problems such as not only respiratory diseases but also mortality in infants and heart attacks. Currently, bulky stations which are high-cost and have limited spatial resolution are used to monitor the air quality. In this study we developed an alternative particulate matter measurement system which is portable and low-cost (less than 200 USD) and also integrated with cloud computing. The system allows real time distant monitoring of PM particles with high spatial resolution (meter range). The developed sensor system is able to provide air quality data in correlation with the existing stations (R-2 = 0.87). The statistical comparison between the developed system and the reference methods revealed that two systems produced statistically equal results in detecting the variations of the particulate matter.

    Energy Efficient and QoS-Aware Routing Protocol for Wireless Sensor Network-Based Smart Grid Applications in the Context of Industry 4.0
    (Elsevier Science Bv, 2018-07) Faheem, M.; Gungor, V. C.
    Recently, there have been great advances in internet of things (IoT) and wireless sensor networks (WSNs) leading to the fourth industrial revolution in power grid, namely, Smart Grid Industry 4.0 (SGI 4.0). In the Smart Grid Industry 4.0 framework, the WSNs have the potential to improve power grid efficiency by cable replacement, deployment flexibility, and cost reduction. However, the smart grid (SG) environment that the WSNs operate in is very challenging because of equipment noise, dust, heat, electromagnetic interference, multipath effects and fading, which make it difficult for current WSNs to provide reliable communication. For SGI 4.0 to come true, a WSN-based highly reliable communication infrastructure is essential for successful operation of the next-generation electricity power grids. To address this need, in this paper a novel dynamic clustering based energy efficient and quality-of-service (QoS)-aware routing protocol (called EQRP), which is inspired by the real behavior of the bird mating optimization (BMO), has been proposed. The proposed distributed scheme improves network reliability significantly and reduces excessive packets retransmissions for WSN-based SG applications. Performance results show that the proposed protocol has successfully reduced the end-to-end delay and has improved packet delivery ratio, memory utilization, residual energy, and throughput.

    Edgebus: Co-Simulation Based Resource Management for Heterogeneous Mobile Edge Computing Environments
    (Elsevier, 2024-12) Ali, Babar; Golec, Muhammed; Gill, Sukhpal Singh; Wu, Huaming; Cuadrado, Felix; Uhlig, Steve
    Kubernetes has revolutionized traditional monolithic Internet of Things (IoT) applications into lightweight, decentralized, and independent microservices, thus becoming the de facto standard in the realm of container orchestration. Intelligent and efficient container placement in Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) is challenging subjected to user mobility, and surplus but heterogeneous computing resources. One solution to constantly altering user location is to relocate containers closer to the user; however, this leads to additional underutilized active nodes and increases migration's computational overhead. On the contrary, few to no migrations are attributed to higher latency, thus degrading the Quality of Service (QoS). To tackle these challenges, we created a framework named EdgeBus(1), which enables the co-simulation of container resource management in heterogeneous MEC environments based on Kubernetes. It enables the assessment of the impact of container migrations on resource management, energy, and latency. Further, we propose a mobility and migration cost-aware (MANGO) lightweight scheduler for efficient container management by incorporating migration cost, CPU cores, and memory usage for container scheduling. For user mobility, the Cabspotting dataset is employed, which contains real-world traces of taxi mobility in San Francisco. In the EdgeBus framework, we have created a simulated environment aided with a real-world testbed using Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) to measure the performance of the MANGO scheduler in comparison to baseline schedulers such as IMPALA-based MobileKube, Latency Greedy, and Binpacking. Finally, extensive experiments have been conducted, which demonstrate the effectiveness of the MANGO in terms of latency and number of migrations.

    BlockFaas: Blockchain-Enabled Serverless Computing Framework for AI-Driven IoT Healthcare Applications
    (Springer, 2023-11-03) Golec, Muhammed; Gill, Sukhpal Singh; Golec, Mustafa; Xu, Minxian; Ghosh, Soumya K.; Kanhere, Salil S.; Uhlig, Steve
    With the development of new sensor technologies, Internet of Things (IoT)-based healthcare applications have gained momentum in recent years. However, IoT devices have limited resources, making them incapable of executing large computational operations. To solve this problem, the serverless paradigm, with its advantages such as dynamic scalability and infrastructure management, can be used to support the requirements of IoT-based applications. However, due to the heterogeneous structure of IoT, user trust must also be taken into account when providing this integration. This problem can be overcome by using a Blockchain that guarantees data immutability and ensures that any data generated by the IoT device is not modified. This paper proposes a BlockFaaS framework that supports dynamic scalability and guarantees security and privacy by integrating a serverless platform and Blockchain architecture into latency-sensitive Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based healthcare applications. To do this, we deployed the AIBLOCK framework, which guarantees data immutability in smart healthcare applications, into HealthFaaS, a serverless-based framework for heart disease risk detection. To expand this framework, we used high-performance AI models and a more efficient Blockchain module. We use the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol in all communication channels to ensure privacy within the framework. To validate the proposed framework, we compare its performance with the HealthFaaS and AIBLOCK frameworks. The results show that BlockFaaS outperforms HealthFaaS with an AUC of 4.79% and consumes 162.82 millijoules less energy on the Blockchain module than AIBLOCK. Additionally, the cold start latency value occurring in Google Cloud Platform, the serverless platform into which BlockFaaS is integrated, and the factors affecting this value are examined.

    (Elsevier, 2021-04) Faheem, Muhammad; Fizza, Ghulam; Ashraf, Muhammad Waqar; Butt, Rizwan Aslam; Ngadi, Md. Asri; Gungor, Vehbi Cagri
    Smart Grid Industry 4.0 (SGI4.0) defines a new paradigm to provide high-quality electricity at a low cost by reacting quickly and effectively to changing energy demands in the highly volatile global markets. However, in SGI4.0, the reliable and efficient gathering and transmission of the observed information from the Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled Cyberphysical systems, such as sensors located in remote places to the control center is the biggest challenge for the Industrial Multichannel Wireless Sensors Networks (IMWSNs). This is due to the harsh nature of the smart grid environment that causes high noise, signal fading, multipath effects, heat, and electromagnetic interference, which reduces the transmission quality and trigger errors in the IMWSNs. Thus, an efficient monitoring and real-time control of unexpected changes in the power generation and distribution processes is essential to guarantee the quality of service (QoS) re-quirements in the smart grid. In this context, this paper de-scribes the dataset contains measurements acquired by the IMWSNs during events monitoring and control in the smart grid. This work provides an updated detail comparison of our proposed work, including channel detection, channel assign-ment, and packets forwarding algorithms, collectively called CARP [1] with existing G-RPL [2] and EQSHC [3] schemes in the smart grid. The experimental outcomes show that the dataset and is useful for the design, development, testing, and validation of algorithms for real-time events monitoring and control applications in the smart grid.

    ATOM: AI-Powered Sustainable Resource Management for Serverless Edge Computing Environments
    (IEEE-Inst Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2024-11) Golec, Muhammed; Gill, Sukhpal Singh; Cuadrado, Felix; Parlikad, Ajith Kumar; Xu, Minxian; Wu, Huaming; Uhlig, Steve
    Serverless edge computing decreases unnecessary resource usage on end devices with limited processing power and storage capacity. Despite its benefits, serverless edge computing's zero scalability is the major source of the cold start delay, which is yet unsolved. This latency is unacceptable for time-sensitive Internet of Things (IoT) applications like autonomous cars. Most existing approaches need containers to idle and use extra computing resources. Edge devices have fewer resources than cloud-based systems, requiring new sustainable solutions. Therefore, we propose an AI-powered, sustainable resource management framework called ATOM for serverless edge computing. ATOM utilizes a deep reinforcement learning model to predict exactly when cold start latency will happen. We create a cold start dataset using a heart disease risk scenario and deploy using Google Cloud Functions. To demonstrate the superiority of ATOM, its performance is compared with two different baselines, which use the warm-start containers and a two-layer adaptive approach. The experimental results showed that although the ATOM required more calculation time of 118.76 seconds, it performed better in predicting cold start than baseline models with an RMSE ratio of 148.76. Additionally, the energy consumption and CO2 emission amount of these models are evaluated and compared for the training and prediction phases.
