   Wireless Integrated Network Sensors (WINS) now provide
    a new monitoring and control capability for monitoring
    the borders of the country.
    Using this concept we can easily identify a stranger or
    some terrorists entering the border.
   The border area is divided into number of nodes. Each
    node is in contact with each other and with the main node.
   The noise produced by the foot-steps of the stranger are
    collected using the sensor. This sensed signal is then
    converted into power spectral density and the compared
    with reference value of our convenience.
   WIRE LESS INTEGRATED NETWORK SENSOR(WINS)
   WINS provide a new monitoring and control capability for
    monitoring the Border of the country.
   WINS require a microwatt of power so it is very cheaper than
    other security system such as Radar and produce less
    amount of delay.
   It produce a less amount delay to detect the target.
   It is reasonably faster.
   On global scale wins will permit monitoring of land ,water
    and air resources for environment monitoring.
   WINS Initiated in 1993 under Defence advance research
    project agency(DARPA)in US.
   LWIM (Low power wireless integrated
    microsensor)program began in 1995 for further
    development os WINS sponsored by DARPA.
   In 1998, WINS NG introduced for wide varity of
    application.
   the LWIM project  multihop, self-assembled, wireless
    network algorithms for operating at micropower levels.

signal processing / event recognition
 WINS architecture includes sensor, data converter,
  signal processing, and control functions.
 The micro power components operate continuously
  for event recognition, while the network interface
  operates at low duty cycle.




           Continuous operation   low duty cycle
1998: WINS NG developed by the authors  contiguous sensing, signal
   processing for event detection, local control of actuators, event
   classification, communication at low power
    Event detection is contiguous  micropower levels
    Event detected => alert process to identify the event
    Further processing? Alert remote user / neighboring node?
    Communication between WINS nodes

      continuously vigilant operation                   low-duty cycle operation
 WINS nodes are distributed at high density in an
  environment to be monitored.
 WINS node data is transferred over the
  asymmetric wireless link to an end user
   The detector shown is the thermal detector. It just captures
    the harmonic signals produced by the footsteps of the
    stranger entering the border.
   These signals are then converted into their PSD values and
    are then compared with the reference values set by the user.




                 Thermal Infrared Detector
 Remotely monitored battlefield sensor
  system(REMBASS)
 Use now a day in unattended ground
  sensor(UGS)
 These sensor used seismic-acoustic energy,
  infrared energy and magnetic field to detect
  enemy activity.
 If a stranger enters the border, his foot-steps will
  generate harmonic signals. It can be detected as a
  characteristic feature in a signal power spectrum. Thus,
  a spectrum analyzer must be implemented in the WINS.
 The spectrum analyzer resolves the WINS input data
  into a low-resolution power spectrum.




    WINS micropower spectrum analyzer architecture
 On a global scale, WINS will permit
  monitoring of land, water, and air resources
  for environmental monitoring .
 On a national scale, transportation systems,
  and borders will be monitored for efficiency,
  safety, and security.
    Reliability
    Energy :There are four way in which node consume
     energy
1.   Sensing
2.   Computation
3.   Storing
4.   Communicating
   The sensor must be design to minimize the liklihood of
    environment effect of wind, rain,snow etc.
   The enclosure is manufacture from clear acrylic material.




                             Enclosure
   Densely distributed sensor networks.
   Application specific networking architectures
   Development platforms are now available .

 •The network is self-monitoring and secure.

•. Now it is possible to secure the border with an invisible
       wall of thousands or even millions of tiny
interconnected sensors.
