CIS4071-N: Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) Design and Security: Mobile Systems and Cyber Security, Assignment, UOG, Singapore, Singapore

Tasks Requirements

AMY Networks is a consultancy business that designs, installs and operates different wireless and wired networks for enterprises and research organisations.  As one of their project leaders, you have been asked to respond to an ITT (Invitation to Tender) for this network design (see last section of this document).  The network solution will include the wireless sensor network logical design along with protocols specifications.

The ITT document is included with this ICA.  The tender that you produce in response to the ITT should take the following form.

Part 1 – Design

You need to respond to the ITT with the following documents: –

Logical Design: Wireless sensor network via packet tracer.

• • Logical design and implementation of the WSN deployment.
  • Design and implement an addressing scheme for WSN(for example, IPv6 equivalent). You can use Packet tracer to implement the IP scheme.

Part 2 – Design Report

The report must provide:

Protocols Stack and Security

• A discussion of energy-efficient protocols for the wireless sensor network.
• Discuss security issues at the application, transport, internet and data link layer, including identifying and mitigating the logical and physical security attacks and risks.

Conclusion/Reflection 

• Practical and insightful conclusions drawn from the research.
• A full discussion about the nature of future developments should be included.

The discussion should include a plan for integrating the different network protocols into the new network design. Your argument must be supported by published research or simulation.

Part 3 – Presentation

Marks will be awarded for the overall presentation of your work.  Your work should be of a professional standard.
