flood is one of the major natural disasters in iran, which is mostly, affected most parts of the country and caused hazards. therefore, identification of the area with high potential risk of flood occurrence is the main purpose in order to the flood control and reducing its damages. in this research the role of the flood routing in identification of the area with high potential flooding has inv...

simultaneous routing and resource allocation has been considered in wireless networks for its performance improvement. in this paper we propose a cross-layer optimization framework for worst-case queue length minimization in some type of fdma based wireless networks, in which the the data routing and the power allocation problem are jointly optimized with fuzzy distributed h∞ control strategy ....

—This paper investigates topology management of large wireless sensor networks. Due to their random deployment, nodes have to organize themselves as energy efficient as possible to avoid redundant sensing and transceiving tasks while maintaining complete sensor coverage and connectivity as long as possible. In this work, we present a clustering algorithm for redundancy detection. With few local...

Secure data transmission and energy efficiency is one of the most prominent issues for wireless sensor networks (WSNs). In this paper, we present a secure and trustable hierarchical routing (STHR) scheme based on active detection model for large scale WSNs. The main objective of this paper is that it evaluates the nodal trust very quickly and avoids black holes through number of active detectio...

Mobile ad hoc network (MANET) security has become the focus of prolific research efforts. Driven by the unique and considerable difficulties of providing security arising from the dynamic nature of MANETs, many security schemes have been proposed. Rather than trying to encompass the entire field of MANET security, this paper focuses on networks using the popular Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector...

To avoid the negative impact of void areas (i.e. holes) on medical application routing efficiency, we propose a new oriented void avoidance mechanism for wireless sensor networks embedded in medical environment. To choose the forwarding region (clockwise or anticlockwise) around the void, proposed mechanism is guided by the destination location with respect to the void. Our mechanism uses the r...

In this article, multiple-product PVRP with pickup and delivery that is used widely in goods distribution or other service companies, especially by railways, was introduced. A mathematical formulation was provided for this problem. Each product had a set of vehicles which could carry the product and pickup and delivery could simultaneously occur. To solve the problem, two meta-heuristic methods...

Recently, underwater Wireless Sensor Networks (UWSNs) attracted the interest of many researchers and the past three decades have held the rapid progress of underwater acoustic communication. One of the major problems in UWSNs is how to transfer data from the mobile node to the base stations and choosing the optimized route for data transmission. Secure routing in UWSNs is necessary for packet d...

Energy constraint is the biggest challenge in wireless sensor networks because the power supply of each sensor node is a battery that is not rechargeable or replaceable due to the applications of these networks. One of the successful methods for saving energy in these networks is clustering. It has caused that cluster-based routing algorithms are successful routing algorithm for these networks....
