GEESE: A Cognitive USN Platform

This paper introduces a framework for a ubiquitous sensor network along with its prototype platform, as a testbed for cognitive computing and routing algorithms. As wireless sensor networks have attracted worldwide attention as an important building block of the "Internet of Things", the cognitive sensor network is currently becoming a popular research topic as an intelligently-enhanced and power-efficient dynamic network. However, related research is still at the conceptual stage, and a realized test platform is essential. The combination of a framework and platform introduced in this paper is expected to be a useful testbed for cognitive computations and dynamic routing algorithms.
