Considering the characteristics of the multicast system that the feedback of the user with the poorest channel condition dictates the transmission rate, we designed the proposed schemes such that it can reduce the total feedback load by sacrificing the feedback of the users with good average channel condition. Specifically, the BS divides the users into two disjoint sets, i.e., the set consisting of the users with poor average channel condition and that consisting of the users with good average channel condition, and makes the users in the former set feed back fine-grained condition of the channels while the users in the latter set feed back coarse-grained condition of the channels. Numerical results reveal that the proposed schemes reduce the total feedback load substantially with a marginal loss of the throughput.","PeriodicalId":402292,"journal":{"name":"2010 16th Asia-Pacific Conference on Communications (APCC)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130926807","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 proposes a novel algorithm, Parametric Protocol for Energy Efficient Cluster Head Selection (PPEECS) in WSN, which consists of two phases; Region formation phase and Cluster Head (CH) selection phase. In prior phase we divide the network into several regions depending upon node density distribution. The later phase allocates a CH per region. The CH selection depends upon relevant parameters related to energy dissipation of nodes. This routing protocol increases the overall lifetime of the network by uniform and effective energy utilization. Simulations show that PPEECS increases network lifetime by all metrics i.e. FND (First Node Dies) by 22%, HNA (Half of the Nodes Alive) by 60% and LND (Last Node Dies) by 50% when compared with an existing protocol, LEACH. Also, PPEECS has a better network lifetime when compared with multihop-LEACH; FND -74%, HNA - 53% and LND - 43 %.","PeriodicalId":402292,"journal":{"name":"2010 16th Asia-Pacific Conference on Communications (APCC)","volume":"97 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132275464","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}

Sensor node deployment strategy is very crucial to the sensing efficiency in terms of the high sensing accuracy and low sensing cost, etc. High sensing accuracy requires high coverage ratio and low blind ratio, while low sensing cost requires fewer amounts of sensor nodes/switches and low overlapping ratio. Given the above requirements, we apply the concept of close packing and propose two-dimensional Close-Packing based Sensor node Deployment (2-D CPSD) scheme, and the two-dimensional Closest-Packing Sensor node Deployment (2-D CestPSD) scheme. Then the CestPSD scheme is extended to a three-dimensional application and is named as 3-D CestPSD. The AOFSN applying the 2-D/3-D CestPSD schemes can obtain the maximum coverage, minimum blind ratio under the premise of maintaining no overlapping ratio between any two nodes' sensing range. The network performances are numerically analyzed and compared with some other node distribution schemes in terms of coverage ratio, overlapping ratio, blind ratio, and node density.","PeriodicalId":402292,"journal":{"name":"2010 16th Asia-Pacific Conference on Communications (APCC)","volume":"101 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124610207","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 results quantify how much the different network interconnection designs are affected by Single and Dual Physical link failures. The case study treats a realistic scenario, the interconnection of the NSFNET topology nodes. The main conclusions show that, when networks are designed under the same conditions, there is a linear relation between average downtime and ratio of connections affected by failures.

Although more and more APs are being deployed, nodes tend to gather around some common hotspots, contending for few APs and leaving other APs idle. The traffic unbalance affects both per-node throughput and network throughput. In this paper, we aim to solve this problem by AP selection. We jointly consider the two key factors—channel availability and link quality—that determine the achievable throughput of a node, and suggest the potential throughput (PT) metric for AP selection. The PT metric is defined as the maximal throughput that can be achieved by a node if it exclusively occupies the remaining idle channel. In this way, a node can achieve higher throughput by associating with a farther but less used AP and the congestion of the network can be alleviated. The simulation results show that the PT metric can greatly improve the total throughput when nodes are unevenly distributed around APs. The testbed experiments with the off-the-shelf WLAN cards also confirm that the per-node throughput can be effectively improved with the proposed method.","PeriodicalId":402292,"journal":{"name":"2010 16th Asia-Pacific Conference on Communications (APCC)","volume":"245 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125784664","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}

For conventional schemes, e.g., cyclic delay diversity (CDD), space-time/space-frequency block coding (STBC/SFBC), and quasi orthogonal STBC/SFBC (QOSTBC/QOSFBC), it is difficult to obtain high channel quality while keeping high data rate and low computational complexity of demodulation in asymmetric MIMO-OFDM system.
