Coverage is one of the main active research interests in WSN.In this paper we aim to review the coverage problem In WSN and the strategies that are...

In this paper, we consider the problem of modeling and analyzing the application communication reliability of wireless sensor networks (WSN) with different topologies, including star, tree, mesh, and hierarchical clustering. We propose reliability measures that integrate the conventional connectivity-based network reliability with the sensing coverage measure of WSN. We apply a reduced ordered ...

wireless sensor networking is an emerging technology that promises a wide range of potential applications in both civilian and military areas. A wireless sensor network (WSN) typically consist of a large number of low cost, low power and multi-functional sensor nodes that are deployed in a region of interest. Wireless sensor networks face many challenges caused by communication failures, storag...

One of the remarkable challenges about Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) is how to transfer the collected data efficiently due to energy limitation of sensor nodes. Network coding will increase network throughput of WSN dramatically due to the broadcast nature of WSN. However, the network coding usually propagates a single original error over the whole network. Due to the special property of error...

Heterogeneous Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) comprises of sensor nodes with distinctive capability, for example, diverse computing power and sensing range. Contrasted with homogeneous WSN, arrangement and topology control are more perplexing in heterogeneous WSN. Distinctive energy efficient clustering protocols for wireless sensor networks systems and thinks about these protocols on a few focus...

Network coding is a technique where each sensor nodes combine packets using mathematical operation, which reduces the number of broadcast packets in a wireless sensor network (WSN). Network coding methods are used to improve a network's throughput, efficiency and scalability when finding optimal solutions to the general network problems. It can also be a method for dealing with attacks and eave...

The steady increase of urban population and the possible effects of climate change that may adversely affect the amount of water available in current water supply systems, makes the study of stormwater and rainwater harvesting and wastewater recycling a high priority. The basic proposition is that any system of water supply that can reduce the amount of water drawn from main reservoirs will be ...
