In the low duty cycle wireless sensor network with unreliable link quality, how to meet designated delay requirements and maximize network lifetime is the focus of this study. This paper proposes the Scheduling Scheme based on Estimated-delay(SSE), which could satisfy decreasing energy consumption as well as delivery delay in the low duty cycle wireless sensor network by utilizing the estimated...

In a single-hop network with multiple relays, selecting a single node to aid in the transmission between a source and a destination outperforms both traditional orthogonal transmissions and distributed space-time codes. The usage of multiple hops will further improve the wireless communication. This paper presents an energy efficient selection of cooperative nodes with respect to their geograph...

This paper proposes a public key based management scheme for secure sensor network operation namely S-PkSec (Public Key Based Security for Sensor Networks) and emphasizes detailed comparison with some similar type of schemes. Although there was a wide held belief of the incompatibility of public key cryptographic (PKC) schemes for wireless sensor networks (WSNs), some recent works have shown th...

Age of information (AoI) is a key performance metric for the Internet things (IoT). Timely status updates are essential many IoT applications; however, they often suffer from harsh energy constraints and unreliability underlying sources. To overcome these unpredictabilities, one can employ multiple sources that track same process interest, but with different costs reliabilities. We consider an ...

av-node modification by catheter rf energy delivery is treatment of choice in the symptomatic patients with avnrt. this study included 30 patients with avnrt (19 women, 11 men). we did slow pathway ablation in 29 cases successfully. maximum effective energy delivery was 40 watts for 40 msec. 1:1 av conduction increased from 290±40 msec before ablation to 340±65 msec after ablation. also av-node...

Virtual backbone trees have been used for efficient communication between sink node and any other node in the deployed area. But all the proposed virtual backbone trees are not fully energy efficient and EVBTs have few flaws associated with them. In this paper two such virtual backbones are proposed. The motive behind the first algorithm, Most Minimal Energy Virtual Backbone Tree (MMEVBT), is t...

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) due to their inherent features are vulnerable to single or multiple sensor node failure. Node’s failure can result in partitioning of the networks resulting in loss of inter-node connectivity and eventually compromising the operation of the sensor network. The recovery from partitioning of network is crucial for inter-node connectivity. In literature, a number of...

In this chapter, we focus on the energy efficient cooperative communication with random node cooperation for wireless networks. By “random,” we mean that the cooperative nodes for each communication event are randomly selected based on the network and channel conditions. Different from the conventional deterministic cooperative communication where cooperative nodes are determined prior to the c...
