“ Poster Abstract: Understanding Radio Activity Signature of Wireless Sensor Network Protocols” by Omprakash Gnawali Dong Han and Abhishek Sharma. In Proceedings of the ACM Conference on Embedded Networked Sensor Systems (SenSys 2014) (poster), Nov. 2014.
In this poster, we present a novel approach to study and reveal network protocol information from radio activities instrumentation in wireless sensor network. Recent studies have analyzed radio activities; however, most of these studies focus on estimating energy consumption, since radio chip usually dominates the energy consumption of nodes. In our work, we analyze radio activities with a different purpose, which aims to reveal network protocols and application workloads by an analysis of fine-grained low level radio activities on the nodes. We design a feature called Radio Awake Length Counter and use it to classify and reveal network activity. Results from experiments on a real world testbed indicate that our approach can achieve up to 97% accuracy to identify the routing protocols, average 85% accuracy to distinguish application workloads.
