Both schemes have shown a high accuracy and an outstanding performance according to simulation results.

Especially, the energy saving problem is an important challenge because of a limited energy characteristic. Many kinds of conventional researches about reprogramming have tried to solve the energy saving problem. But they do not consider the energy consumption model and still have inefficient memory access times. In this paper, we propose a tiny function-linking scheme. It performs function relocation to decrease program code shift and connects relocated function with a tiny function-linker to eliminate function caller changes. This proposed scheme reduces access times to Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM) and program memory during the decoding procedure of the reprogramming. Experimental results show that our scheme outperforms the previous reprogramming schemes in terms of the energy consumption.","PeriodicalId":150024,"journal":{"name":"2009 Third International Conference on Mobile Ubiquitous Computing, Systems, Services and Technologies","volume":"108 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127971080","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An efficient ant-based routing algorithm (EAR) for mobile ad-hoc networks has been proposed in order to support multi-path routes and to reduce overheads by managing ants efficiently. In this paper, the performances of EAR and AntHocNet are analyzed to see how these algorithms perform when transmission rate increases. The simulation results show that EAR provides less overhead, resulting faster end-to-end delivery of data as the transmission rate increases and node mobility increases.","PeriodicalId":150024,"journal":{"name":"2009 Third International Conference on Mobile Ubiquitous Computing, Systems, Services and Technologies","volume":"93 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120864043","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed structure takes benefits of both cross- and auto-correlation. Cross-correlation is useful to remove additional side band noise in the CSS system and to find sharp peaks among filtered output values. In addition, we use the auto-correlation in order to suppress the effect of frequency offset and the initial channel phase. Simulation results show that the proposed procedure is robust to the frequency offset, and can detect the presence of a signal in very low signal to noise ratio (SNR).","PeriodicalId":150024,"journal":{"name":"2009 Third International Conference on Mobile Ubiquitous Computing, Systems, Services and Technologies","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127843329","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
