Abstract
In this paper, we present a novel approach to study and reveal network and protocol information from energy instrumentation in wireless sensor network. Unlike prior approaches which focused on analyzing the aggregate statistics of energy efficiency of a network or a protocol, our approach aims at revealing network protocols, application workloads, and topology information by fine-grained energy instrumentation on the nodes. We design a set of features based on various aspects of energy data and use those features to classify and reveal network activity. Results from experiments on three testbeds indicate that our approach can achieve 97% accuracy to identify the routing protocols, and infer the network topology with 98% accuracy.
