A significant body of existing research on clustered routing algorithms for WSNs has concentrated on employing heuristic optimization algorithms to facilitate the selection of routing paths. However, once the number of sensor nodes or the deployment environment changes, the algorithm’s performance can fluctuate significantly, potentially requiring redesign and retuning. In this article, we propose the clustered routing algorithm based on forwarding mechanism optimization (CRFMO), which defines separate routing rules for intracluster and intercluster communication, providing suitable communication paths for nodes. The algorithm eschews the complex procedure of parameter tuning during the routing path selection process and contributes to expediting WSN deployment and balancing node load pressure, ultimately extending the network’s operational lifespan. Simulation outcomes reveal that, in comparison to LEACH-IACA and IMP-LEACH, the CRFMO algorithm markedly enhances energy distribution balance, equalizes the burden among nodes, sustains high network coverage over an extended period, which enhances the quality of network monitoring, and significantly extends the lifetime of the network.","PeriodicalId":447,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Sensors Journal","volume":"24 22","pages":"38071-38081"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2024-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142645531","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Compared to the national standard for G-type thermocouples regarding the temperature-voltage relationship, the maximum voltage deviation is only 0.1 mV.

Using modulated pump light to heat the cobalt-doped fiber results in a dynamic temperature response in the wind speed sensor. Wind speeds are related to the amplitudes of the dynamic temperature response rather than the static steady-state temperature, which enhances measurement precision. The response sensitivity is higher under lower wind speeds. The temperature of the cobalt-doped fiber rises as it absorbs the pump light energy and then drops when the pump light is turned off. The center wavelength of the fiber Bragg grating (FBG) exhibits periodic shifts with temperature variations. A part of the sensor’s heat is taken away in a wind field, which causes various temperature response amplitudes under the same pump light energy. The amplitudes of the FBG center wavelength vary with different wind speeds. By using the edge-filtering intensity demodulation method, the wavelength variation amplitudes with temperature are converted into the amplitudes of the photodetector’s output voltage variation. The specific relationship between the amplitudes of voltage variation and wind speeds is used to measure wind speed. Measurements were taken within a wind speed range of 0–3 m/s. Experimental results demonstrate that the sensor has good repeatability and stability.

In this article, considering two transmission modes for two types of data with different delay requirements, and the limited battery capacity of UAV, we formulate a joint resource allocation and UAV trajectory design problem in clustered nonorthogonal multiple access (C-NOMA) air-ground integrated IoRT sensors network to maximize the data collection efficiency. For the formulated nonconvex problem, the deep deterministic policy gradient (DDPG) method can solve it. However, the DDPG method has the Q-value overestimation problem; in order to alleviate the problem, the twin-delayed DDPG (TD3) method with a double critic network is applied, and a TD3-based resource allocation algorithm is proposed to solve the primal problem. Simulation results verify that the proposed algorithm has better performance in terms of improving the data collection efficiency than other benchmark methods.","PeriodicalId":447,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Sensors Journal","volume":"24 22","pages":"38540-38550"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2024-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142645453","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To observe and track stars, traditional all-time star sensors with narrow field of view (FOV) must be installed on turntable platforms, which cannot achieve autonomous celestial attitude measurement. The innovative all-time star sensor based on FOV-gated technology controls the microshutter and microlens array, enabling rapid switching to subdivide the wide FOV and gate a narrow FOV. This system ensures the detection of multiple stars simultaneously by suppressing atmospheric background radiation, thereby achieving autonomous attitude determination. For the all-time star sensor, the accuracy of attitude measurement is not only related to system parameters but also to atmospheric radiation and transmission. Current parameter optimization methods are constrained by specific observation conditions, limiting their applicability across diverse scenarios and temporal variations. To overcome these limitations, we developed an analytical model that accounts for the distribution of spatiotemporal observation conditions, including the probability distribution of the solar zenith angle. Based on this model, the attitude accuracy of the star sensor under all spatiotemporal conditions is weighted and employed as the global optimization objective. An optimal design scheme was provided through optimization, leading to the fabrication of an actual optical lens, which was subsequently used to assemble a prototype. A ground-based experiment was conducted to validate the accuracy of the star detection model, followed by a simulation that confirmed the proposed design satisfies the requirements in the entire celestial sphere.","PeriodicalId":447,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Sensors Journal","volume":"24 22","pages":"38015-38024"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2024-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142645469","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this article, we propose a novel computational model that integrates the physical model of SHM sensing to generate “virtual” sensor nodes with reliable data output at zero additional deployment cost, thereby enabling cost-efficient sensing for SHM systems. To achieve this, we build a generative adversarial network (GAN) combined with the physical model and design a discriminator to ensure that the generated virtual sensor node data aligns with the authentic physical characteristics. The generator employs a 1-D convolutional layer in a convolutional neural network (CNN) and a bi-long short-term memory network (LSTM) model to capture spatial-temporal correlations, along with a weighted smoothing algorithm to reduce noise while preserving data integrity. To support the model, we design a spatial-channel attention mechanism to enhance robustness. We conduct tests on the real-world dataset of the Belgian railway bridge KW51, and the results indicate that our system can generate virtual sensor nodes with 98.2% accuracy toward the ground truth without the need to deploy new devices (with no additional deployment cost). Hence, with its reliable sensing and cost-efficient features, we believe that our system could be helpful in facilitating the large-scale application of SHM systems, thereby providing effective safety monitoring for a wider range of buildings.","PeriodicalId":447,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Sensors Journal","volume":"24 22","pages":"38527-38539"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2024-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142645490","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
