Abstract

The applications that employ mobile networks depend on the continuous input of reliable data collected by sensing devices. A common application is in military systems, where as an example, drones that are sent on a mission can communicate with each other, exchange sensed data, and autonomously make decisions. Although the mobility of nodes enhances the network coverage, connectivity, and scalability, it introduces pressing issues in data reliability compounded by restrictions in sensor energy resources, as well as limitations in available memory, and computational capacity.

This dissertation investigates the issues that mobile networks encounter in providing reliable data. Our research goal is to develop a diverse set of novel data handling solutions for mobile sensor systems providing reliable data by considering the dynamic trajectory behavior relationships among nodes, and the constraints inherent to mobile nodes. We study the applicability of economic models, which are simplified versions of real-world situations that let us observe and make predictions about economic behavior, to our domain. First, we develop a data cleaning method by introducing the notion of “beta,” a measure that quantifies the risk associated with trusting the accuracy of the data provided by a node based on trajectory behavior similarity. Next, we study the reconstruction of highly incomplete data streams. Our method determines the level of trust in data accuracy by assigning variable “weights” considering the quality and the origin of data. Thirdly, we design a behavior-based data reduction and trend prediction technique using Japanese candlesticks. This method reduces the dataset to 5% of its original size while preserving the behavioral patterns. Finally, we develop a data cleaning distribution method for energy-harvesting networks. Based on the Leontief Input-Output model, this method increases the data that is run through cleaning and the network uptime.
