- Design of network coding based reliable sensor networksPublication . Al-hawri, Eman; Correia, Noélia; Barradas, A.Network coding can be very useful in achieving a balance between energy efficiency and end-to-end packet error in sensor networks, particularly if only a subset of the nodes act as encoding nodes. In this article, a mathematical model and a heuristic algorithm are proposed to plan for the best placement of encoding nodes while ensuring reliability. These approaches are also able to address scenarios where sensor networks, using different gateways, are federated. In this case a distributed storage system is required to ensure the recovery of packets when related coded packets arrive to the different gateways. The experimental results show that the adequate number and placement of encoding nodes can be effectively determined, significantly enhancing the performance of constrained sensor networks using network coding.

- RELOAD/CoAP P2P Overlays for Network Coding Based Constrained EnvironmentsPublication . Al-hawri, Eman; Correia, Noélia; Barradas, Álvaro; Camarinha-Matos, L. M.; Parreira-Rocha, M.; Ramezani, J.The Internet of Things will bring into the Internet all kinds of smart systems, which will be able to interact with each other. Therefore, applications relying on data sharing for collaboration will increase, and effective distributed solutions for data storage become necessary. This need led to the proposal of a CoAP Usage for RELOAD, a generic P2P protocol that accepts pluggable application layers (Usages). This allows P2P overlay networks to be built where constrained systems store their data and clients are able to retrieve it. Since many smart systems rely on wireless networks to communicate, where network coding can be used to reduce packet error rate, P2P overlays should be prepared to store data from network coding based networks. More specifically, encoding vectors and encoded data must be stored, and a decoding service is required. In this article, we propose a CoAP Usage extension so that network coding based constrained networks can use RELOAD/CoAP P2P distributed storage.
