designing wireless sensor networks should meet appropriate parameters such as quality of service (qos) defined by different users. the variable physical conditions of the environment, processing and transmission power limitations and limited communication capabilities are the most important obstacles that influence qos parameters such as throughput, delay, reliability and network lifetime. the ...

Implementation of new equipment consisting high power electronics based technologies such as Flexible Alternating Current Transmission Systems (FACTS) and proper controller design become essential for improvement of operation and control of power systems. Major positive impacts on power system reliability performance and the actual benefits obtained can be assessed using suitable models and pra...

In a wireless sensor network, sensor nodes are deployed in an ad hoc fashion and they deliver data packets using multihop transmission. However, transmission failures occur frequently in the multihop transmission over wireless media. Thus, a loss recovery mechanism is required to provide end-to-end reliability. In addition, because the sensor nodes are very small devices and have insufficient r...

Ever-increasing energy demand has led to geographic expansion of transmission lines and their complexity. In addition, higher reliability is expected in the transmission systemsdue to their vital role in power systems. It is very difficult to realize this goal by conventional monitoring and control methods. Thus, phasor measurement units (PMUs) are used to measure system parameters. Although in...

In internet of things (IoT) system, the communication scheme with reliability and low power is required to connect a terminal. Cooperative communication can achieve reliability and lower power than multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system. Cooperative communication increases the reliability with low power, but decreases a throughput. It has a weak point that the communication throughput is ...

— In this paper, we introduce a novel link layer cooperation technique in noisy wireless networks to improve overall system throughput and reliability, and to reduce the cost of retransmission and energy consumption. Under a cluster-based network design, code combining [1] is used together with FEC to improve the link layer reliability. This approach is different from how code combining is used...
