This paper presents two new approaches for sensors clustering in WSNs, namely Fractal Clustering in Wireless Sensor Networks (FCWSN) and Similarity Measure in Wireless Sensor Networks (SMWSN). Both approaches are based on a new principle, known as behavioral clustering, which is able to cluster sensors with similar sensed data patterns of recent historical data collected. By exploring the new clustering method, the approaches are able to reduce message transmission by using cluster-heads for concentrating communication between sensors and sink. In order to validate and compare the proposed approaches, simulations have been conducted over real data, using SinalGo simulator. Results show that FCWSN and SMWSN can both significantly reduce the number of messages injected into the network whereas SMWSN presented a number of messages slightly smaller than FCWSN. In relation to Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), FCWSN remains about 10% lower than SMWSN approach, while both have a low RMSE.","PeriodicalId":403815,"journal":{"name":"2016 Eighth International Conference on Ubiquitous and Future Networks (ICUFN)","volume":"110 3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117239083","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 work presents a cross-layer design that leverages transport- and link-layer protocols to enable the full use of high-rate circuits/VCs to achieve high-throughput transfers. Three cases are considered: (i) single circuit/rate-guaranteed VC for a single large transfer from a server, (ii) multiple simultaneous large transfers from a server, and (iii) semi-rate-guaranteed VC. Circuit TCP (CTCP) and the Token Bucket Filter (TBF) queueing discipline of the Linux traffic control (tc) utility are recommended for the first case, and parameter selection methods are provided. For the second case, the tc Hierarchical Token Bucket (HTB) discipline is recommended as it supports dynamic additions and deletions of classes without impact on ongoing large-transfer flows using existing classes. For the third case, CTCP is recommended if the large-transfer throughput is the primary concern, while HTCP is recommended if higher consideration is given to other flows.","PeriodicalId":403815,"journal":{"name":"2016 Eighth International Conference on Ubiquitous and Future Networks (ICUFN)","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122095761","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}

In duty cycling, a large duty cycle interval can result in low energy consumption but a long end-to-end (E2E) delay. Moreover, several applications require that consumed energy is minimized and packets are forwarded to the sink within a specific time. In order to deal with E2E delay problem, there have been several existing works in duty-cycled WSNs but they require time synchronization or high message complexity. Most of them still cause high E2E packet delay. Therefore, in this paper, we propose sub-interval-based scheduling algorithm that aims to enhancing average E2E delay in duty-cycled WSNs. By assigning sooner sub-interval for nodes that can make longer progress among potential forwarders, E2E delay can be reduced significantly. Numerical results show that sub-interval-based scheduling algorithm can achieve lower latency than DASF.","PeriodicalId":403815,"journal":{"name":"2016 Eighth International Conference on Ubiquitous and Future Networks (ICUFN)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124875377","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}

It is because sensor nodes in network use limited battery source which leads to limited lifetime. Also, sensor nodes in WSNs use multi-hop communication, so nodes near sink node transmit more data compared with farther nodes. These phenomenon results in energy hole problem which is critical to prolong lifetime of sensor network. So We proposed energy efficient and low complexity detouring scheme to prevent energy hole problem in advance. For better environment of WSN, energy harvesting technology is used in this work. Although the amount of energy charged by energy harvest sources is not always enough to meet the requirement of WSNs, proposed scheme can be good at lifetime of network. With this method, beginning time of energy hole can be postponed and it will network lifetime more extended.","PeriodicalId":403815,"journal":{"name":"2016 Eighth International Conference on Ubiquitous and Future Networks (ICUFN)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129506215","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}

(3) Enterprises often use their own equipment, which accounts for a large part of their costs.

SUs in CRNs with CA can transmit bits of data through more than one idle channels which are not used by primary users (PUs). SUs decide whether to access idle channels or not based on the access probability (AP), and we call users who decide to access active SUs. Each active SU uses the sequential sensing policy to sense randomly chosen L channels at the beginning of each access frame (AF) and accesses all the idle channels among the sensed channels during the rest of the AF. We analyze the average number of bits transmitted successfully by an SU per AF, call it the throughput performance of an SU. We derive a closed form of the throughput performance of an SU as a function of AP and L. By maximizing throughput, we propose a joint optimal access and sensing policy, that is, we provide the optimal value of AP a* and the optimal number of sensing channels (NSC) L*. We validate our analysis and investigate the throughput performance of the proposed optimal policy using numerical and simulation studies. Based on our investigation we further propose a near-optimal simplified policy.","PeriodicalId":403815,"journal":{"name":"2016 Eighth International Conference on Ubiquitous and Future Networks (ICUFN)","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129310701","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}
