The environments of WSN frequently disturb the link quality. Link quality not only affects the reliability of data transmission in the network, but also determines the performance of related Upper-layer network protocol. Therefore, link quality evaluation becomes a considering question. The link quality evaluation methods include data package delivery rate and LQI(Link Quality Index). Practical...

The adverse impacts of particulate air pollution and ground-level ozone on public health and the environment have motivated the development of Canada Wide Standards (CWS) on air quality. In cost-benefit analysis of air-quality options, valuation of reduction in mortality is a critical step as it accounts for almost 80% of the total benefits and any bias in its evaluation can significantly skew ...

The purpose of this paper is to design state predictive LQI congestion controllers by considering effective equilibrium points of nonlinear models of TCP/AQM networks and to illustrate the effectiveness of the designed congestion controllers via the ns-2(Network Simulator ver.2) simulator. First nonlinear models of TCP/AQM networks are linearized at equilibrium points and a method to configure ...

The Life-Quality Index (LQI) is a tool for the assessment of risk reduction initiatives that would enhance safety and quality of life. The paper evaluates the impact of road maintenance programs on the quality of life in the Netherlands using the LQI method. The LQI is calibrated using the specific economic and demographic data for the Netherlands. A preliminary cost-benefit analysis shows that...
