Most sensor nodes need hardware support or receive packets with location information to estimate their location, and this needs lots of time or costs, and may have a huge error. In this paper we present a localization mechanism in wireless sensor networks (MRN). We use a mobile reference node with GPS to move to the whole environment, and we use RSSI and trilateration to estimate unknown nodes' location. We can obtain more unknown nodes location by mobile reference node moving scheme, and will decreases the energy consumption and average location error.","PeriodicalId":184544,"journal":{"name":"2013 9th International Conference on Information, Communications & Signal Processing","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128252130","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}

One key aspect to consider in HetNets is the impact of the power consumption of the backhaul, i.e., the overall energy efficiency of a HetNet deployment is affected by the backhaul technology and architecture. This paper presents a preliminary assessment of the design challenges of a future green backhaul segment for a HetNet deployment. The study is based on the analysis of the medium term future outlook (i.e., between now and the year 2025) of the main technologies used in todays'* backhaul networks (i.e., fiber, microwave and copper). It can be concluded that, even if there arc no doubts that both microwave and fiber will be predominately used in the future, the possible migration paths leading to such fiber- and microwave-dominated scenarios might be different, depending on factors such as spectrum and license costs, time to deployment, availability of equipment, and required Quality of Service (QoS) levels.","PeriodicalId":184544,"journal":{"name":"2013 9th International Conference on Information, Communications & Signal Processing","volume":"124 11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124655864","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 analysis results indicate that both the accuracy of the noise power spectral density (NPSD) estimation and the smoothing factor have significant impacts on the amount of noise reduction. Based on these analysis results, a modified PLD-based two-channel noise reduction algorithm is proposed, where two schemes are introduced to improve the performance of the traditional PLD-based algorithm. In the first scheme, a non-stationary noise estimator is proposed to improve the tracking capability of the NPSD estimator. In the second scheme, an adaptive updating smoothing factor (AUSF) is used to reduce the variance of the spectral estimation and increase the amount of noise reduction. Experimental results with recorded data show better performance of the proposed algorithm.","PeriodicalId":184544,"journal":{"name":"2013 9th International Conference on Information, Communications & Signal Processing","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123831345","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}

This paper, in particular evaluates the performance of proposed protocol in terms of end-to-end waiting time to receive data, which is an important QoS requirement for data transmission in opportunistic networks. The proposed protocol DTT-HWV reduces end-to-end waiting time to receive data compared to Random Progress (RP) data forwarding method in presence of low battery power and high path loss.

Thanks to the ultra-narrow linewidth of the source (~0.01 nm), not only is the 10-Gb/s incoherent signal successfully transmitted over 20-km standard single-mode fiber without any dispersion compensation, but also retains the noise suppression after passing through a 0.2-nm-bandwidth narrow optical filter.
