Note that these two metrics are in the tradeoff relation and then, we apply our scheme to GEAR to achieve energy awareness which is critical to extend the lifetime of sensor networks.

Based on the spatiotemporal predictive scheme, some starting points are well chosen to obtain good convergence rate. To adapt to fast motion and slow motion, a mutation mechanism is designed by exploiting the information of search range and direction based on the statistical distribution of motion vectors.

In this paper, we show the scaling analysis of jitter propagation properties of Internet paths based on the wavelet analysis using the IP performance active measurement method. After collecting and analyzing the jitter with the global and local scaling analysis, following results were extracted. Firstly, it is deduced from the global scaling analysis that the most typical property for average energy is path dependency, i.e. propagation property through the path. Secondly, local scaling analysis described that short term fluctuations biased the values of partition function and caused multifractal scaling over the middle timescales, and long distance trip to foreign nodes generated comparatively irregular behavior and caused multifractal scaling","PeriodicalId":185969,"journal":{"name":"20th International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications - Volume 1 (AINA'06)","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115044445","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}
