Unit I: Cyber-Physical Systems Built on Wireless Sensor Networks
- Introduction and Motivation
- Cyber-physical systems (CPS) integrate computation, networking, and physical processes
- CPS merge digital and physical functionalities to monitor and control physical processes
- Applications include manufacturing, transportation, healthcare, and smart infrastructure
- System Description and Operational Scenarios
- Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) serve as a foundational infrastructure for CPS
- WSNs enable real-time monitoring, control, and optimization of physical systems
- Applications include smart homes, surveillance, tracking, and environmental science
- Medium Access Control (MAC)
- MAC protocol coordinates node actions over a shared channel
- Energy conservation is crucial in WSNs
- MAC protocols are optimized for low power consumption, collision avoidance, and small code size
- Routing
- Multi-hop routing is critical for WSNs
- WSNs operate in open environments with packet errors and asymmetry in connectivity
- Routing protocols must adapt to these constraints### Routing in Wireless Sensor Networks
- Nodes calculate the next hop based on progress toward the destination using distance formulas, considering factors like time delays, link reliability, and energy.
- Directed diffusion integrates routing, queries, and data aggregation to reduce communication costs and enhance routing robustness.
- It adapts to environmental changes, making it a suitable framework for addressing various challenges in cyber-physical systems (CPS).
Reliability in WSN
- Ensuring high reliability on each link is crucial due to multi-hop message transmission.
- Nodes choose high-quality links for next hops and may increase power or wait for environmental changes to improve link quality.
- Retries and waiting out burst loss conditions also enhance hop-by-hop reliability.
Voids in WSN
- Voids occur in WSNs when no forwarding nodes are within range in the desired direction due to node failures, obstacles, or sleep states.
- Protocols like greedy perimeter stateless routing (GPSR) address voids by selecting alternative nodes using methods like the left-hand rule to find new routes.
Node Localization
- Node localization involves determining the geographical positions of each node within the network.
- Factors affecting localization include hardware costs, beacon nodes, required accuracy levels, environmental conditions, dimensionality, energy constraints, time efficiency, clock synchronization, and security concerns.
- Approaches include GPS capabilities, "walking GPS," and range-based and range-free schemes.
Clock Synchronization
- Clock synchronization is crucial to ensure consistent time readings within a certain margin of error.
- Specialized protocols like Reference Broadcast Synchronization (RBS), Timing-Sync Protocol for System Networks (TPSN), and Flooding Time Synchronization Protocol (FTSP) have been developed for WSNs.
- RBS achieves accuracies of about 30 microseconds for 1 hop, while TPSN achieves an accuracy of around 17 microseconds.
Power Management
- Power management is crucial in WSNs due to limited battery life.
- Approaches include hardware improvements, low-power circuits and microcontrollers, and power-saving states.
- Strategies like optimizing MAC protocols, efficient routing, neighbor discovery, time synchronization, and message reduction techniques contribute to prolonging node lifetimes.
Key Design Drivers and Quality Attributes
- Cyber-Physical System (CPS) solutions in sensor networks require consideration of various key design drivers and quality attributes.
- Examples include physical awareness, real-time responsiveness, validation capabilities, and security measures.
Physically Aware
- Cyber-technologies must possess physical awareness to understand the environment and account for physical world properties that impact system correctness and performance.
- Examples include GPSR, which addresses voids in the network, and MANET solutions that lack physical awareness.
Real-Time Aware
- Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) in open environments face a range of timing constraints, from soft real-time to safety-critical.
- Research focuses on addressing real-time issues in CPS, including protocols like RAP, SPEED, RI-EDF, and others that provide real-time guarantees.
Runtime Validation Aware
- Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) must operate reliably and continuously due to the high cost of system failures.
- Techniques like eScan and congestion detection and avoidance (CODA) improve the robustness of individual components, but fail to validate overall high-level functionality of the application.
- Self-healing applications strive for continuous operation but have not yet demonstrated adherence to key high-level functional requirements.### Cyber-Physical Interface and Automation
Runtime Validation Aware WSN Health-Monitoring and Runtime Assurance
- WSN health-monitoring systems (e.g., LiveNet, Memento, and MANNA) focus on low-level components and do not ensure that high-level application requirements are continuously met.
- Future Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) built on WSNs will need more than low-level monitoring, requiring continuous or periodic runtime validation to adapt to environmental and functional changes.
Runtime Assurance (RTA) vs. Network Health Monitoring
- Runtime Assurance (RTA) and network health monitoring serve different purposes in ensuring the reliability of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs).
- Network health monitoring detects and reports low-level hardware faults, like node or route failures.
- RTA uses end-to-end application-level tests, offering two main advantages:
- Fewer false positives: RTA tests only the necessary components for correct system operation, reducing unnecessary maintenance dispatches.
- Fewer false negatives: RTA detects subtle failures like topological changes, clock drift, and new environmental obstacles that impact communication or sensing.
Cyber-Physical Systems Built on Wireless Sensor Networks
- Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) face increased vulnerability to security attacks due to their openness and wireless accessibility in open environments.
- Ensuring security in CPS is critical due to their involvement in essential and safety-critical operations.
- Standard security properties needed include confidentiality, integrity, authenticity, identification, authorization, access control, availability, auditability, tamper resistance, and non-repudiation.
Security Challenges in CPS
- Security solutions for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), a component of CPS, have seen limited success.
- Proposed solutions are often piecemeal and address specific layers like physical, networking, and middleware.
- Physical Layer Attacks:
- Destroying or disabling devices to create a denial of service.
- Probing devices to extract secret keys, enabling attackers to create clones that can masquerade as the original devices.
- Countermeasures:
- Tamper-resistant packaging
- Better attack detection
- Fault recovery mechanisms
- Reducing reliance on external components
- Erasing memory upon detecting tampering
- Shielding circuits by distributing components
- Encrypting bus traffic
- Randomizing data values and timing to combat side-channel attacks.
Security Issues Above the Physical Layer in CPS
- Implementing security solutions for each protocol is often impractical.
- An alternative is dynamic adaptation based on detected attacks.
- Secure Implicit Geographic Forwarding (SIGF) is a family of routing protocols for WSNs that operates efficiently without attacks and employs stronger defenses when attacks are detected.
Practitioners' Implications (Case Study)
- Group abstractions, such as Hood and abstract regions, have limitations, including inability to handle diverse networks, support for actuators, or adapt to mobile devices.
- The Bundle abstraction addresses some CPS programming challenges, but lacks completeness in correctness semantics, dependency detection and resolution, and explicit real-time and environment abstraction support.
Summary and Open Challenges
- Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) based on Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) hold significant potential across various application domains.
- A new multidisciplinary research field is emerging to tackle the challenges posed by CPS, necessitating innovative cyber-physical solutions.
- Open challenges include:
- Developing effective sensing, decision-making, and control architectures
